Author Description

Not many poets play with rhyme nowadays. Whether they see it as restraining or old-fashioned, most poets prefer some form of free verse. But Bud Ogden doesn't seem interested in keeping with trends nor is he attempting to stick to tradition. Ogden's poetry employs rhyme in a unique manner; mixing up rhyme schemes with complete disregard for what's considered "proper." There's something very alternative, almost rebellious in Ogden's unique, personal, and vulnerable poetry. If you're looking for an ordinary book of poetry, look elsewhere.
