The Refined Poet is an american poet, spoken word artist, author, and songwriter. He has written numerous poems, books, articles, blogs, teaching resources, devotional materials, and songs for religious and secular audiences. His motto for his poetry is: "Write to Inspire. Write to Express. Write to Live."

"I create poetry under the pseudonym of "The Refined Poet" due to the style of my writings and spoken word presentations. I do not write from a place of angst, frustration, or inner turmoil. My poetry comes from biblical, thoughtful introspection and consideration of various topics while respecting the many forms of the poetic genre." ~TRP~
