R.D. Armstrong

Biography & Publications

 

Raindog, aka RD Armstrong began his most recent incarnation as a poet in the early 90s.  He has a number of chapbooks and has been published in over 100 poetry magazines and anthologies, including most recently, the Louisiana Review; Flash!Point #5; The Bukowski Review #1 & 2; and Unwound Magazine; and anthologies including, An Eye For An Eye And The World Goes Blind – Poets on 9-11; Drinking With Bukowski; Incidental Buildings & Accidental Beauty; and Raising the Roof.  His work has appeared online at Poetic Diversity; Poetz; Poetry Super Highway; SPAM and NYCityLit, to name but a few.

 

His last book was RoadKill, a 15,000 + word long poem published by 12 Gauge Press, detailing a road trip to Washington State, undertaken just prior to 9-11-01.  It is in its second printing.

 

Raindog also publishes a variety of poets through his Lummox Press, which offers the Lummox Journal (a print magazine – 95 to 06 and now online), the Little Red Book series (with 55 titles so far), and several other titles such as The Wren Notebook by Rick Smith and LAST CALL: the Legacy of Charles Bukowski (anthology of essays, stories, poetry and drawings).  All this can be viewed on his website at www.lummoxpress.com
