RAYMOND KEEN’s first volume of poetry, Love Poems for Cannibals, will be published in December 2012. His drama, The Private and Public Life of King Able, will be published in early 2013. Five of his poems appeared in the July/August 2005 Issue of The American Poetry Review. Since 2010, Raymond’s poems have been accepted for publication by 23 literary journals.
Raymond spent three years as a Navy Clinical Psychologist with a year in Vietnam (July 1967 – July 1968). Since that time he has worked as a School Psychologist in the USA and overseas, until his retirement in 2006. Raymond lives with his wife Kemme in Sahuarita, AZ. They have two grown children.
I do like the wording and when we keep asking ourselves those questions for which we do have answers but do not have the courage to acknowledge those answers. If you read this poetry again and again; you can sense the intention of the poet (Raymond Keen), to get into the psyche of the human soul. I am not surprised he is a psychologist with a substantial and professional experience. My best wishes to him and his work. I am sure any one who reads his poetry will crave for more. God bless.
