Martin A. Ramos Biography

I began writing poetry, and creative
writing in general, one night my freshman year in college. I woke about two in the morning with an
urge to compose a poem-an ode-about some topic
then pre-eminent in the news. I wrote the poem,
about 30 stanzas, in one sitting at fever pitch. Since then I've written poetry and short stories
and have been published in small literary magazines and journals such as Chiricú (Indiana University}, Latino Stuff Review, Dragonfly, Cyclo*Flame and others. I've also published poetry in Writer's Digest and online @ RedRiverReview and The Cortland Review.

Most of the poems appearing here are from my unpublished book 'Lineman.' Paz.
