RomusthePoet


Romusthepoet is a young Black poet from California, who has recently signed a book deal with the William-Morris Agency for the publication of the first volume of his work. It is very much to be hoped that there will be many more volumes in the body of his career as poet. An admirer of the work of Octavia Butler, Sonia Sanchez, and Maya Angelou, he enjoys performing his work publically and has an extremely powerful poetic voice to share.
