Larry Sherman Rogers

Larry Rogers is a poet/songwriter. Growing up he lived for a while in Berkeley and Compton, California, but was mostly raised in a potting shed trailer in the piney woods of west central Arkansas - a sanctuary for moonshiners, marijuana growers, and merry pranksters.

He lives with his wife, Judy, in Fort Smith Arkansas. They have two grown children, Lily and Hank.

In addition to his collection of poems, "Live Free or Croak," just recently published by Golden Antelope Press, Rogers has also just released a music CD. It's titled "Only Love Letters Get Lost in the Mail." Rogers sings and wrote or co-wrote, with Jenks Norwalk, all 15 songs on the CD. Songs that Rogers has written or co-written with Norwalk have been published by some of the better known names in the music industry.

About Live Free or Croak:

"Larry Rogers is a first-rate poet and maker of songs. In these pages the reader will find a range of emotion not achieved often, even by notable poets. Sometimes one picks up a little book and finds a gem, somewhat like stumbling across a forty carat diamond in a potato patch. Reading Rogers' Live Free or Croak is very much like that."
