Richard L Ratliff

Richard L Ratliff is a baby boomer writing with passion, sensuality, and honesty about life, love, and life's observations.

Born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, his midwest ties have built the foundation and setting for his vibrant voice and passionate poetry. He is a Purdue University graduate with two years of engineering turned into a degree in English Literature; along with being a two year letterman in wrestling.

All of those strange combinations have given him a career as a boiler and combustion expert and poet. "IT'S ABOUT TIME" is his first published work. With unique visuals and passionate lyrics, Richard explores feelings held in for many years but not forgotten. His first collection is only a taste of what is on the surface of his mind as there are two more collections in the works.
