Robert Goodwin Olmsted was born and raised in Connecticut, where he has spent most of his life with family and children. Robert has been creating works of art and poetry since his childhood. He has always had the pleasure of inspiring humanity since he was a young boy, and seeing for himself what imaginative writings, drawings, paintings and carvings can do for the hearts and minds of men, women and children, this writer and artist endeavors to pursue the creative life for as long as he lives. In this book of poetry, Ragged Robin's Rhymes, Robert's second volume of writings, he shares with the reader poems that will make you smile, laugh, cry and simply think about life. He has also welcomed within these pages, poems by other writers: Charlaine Taylor, friend and the editor and Dorothy A. Wilkerson, the mother of Robert's two children, Craig and Dana.
