About This poet

I am Jacob Harvey Redloh, Harvey for personal speaking purposes, have been an adventure seeker, a dreamer, an artist, a poet, and a writer. Other guises I has include being a workman in manufacturing, salesman, and lifelong philosophic student—these latter taking up the majority of his living experience. At seventy-two years old, when this website is being completed, I have been joyfully pursuing writing in several forms while retired from the everyday, mundane world of common employment. Now, after years to myself I return to the workforce of necessity as so many have after the pandemic. I, like many, have been one to volunteer where help is needed, giving whatever I can provide effectively and have done so routinely within my scope and sphere of activities for many years, those of succor for the needy and enlightened self-improvement.

I have aspired throughout my life in times of creative exuberance and enforced relaxation, to succeed in the visual arts, like sketching, pastel drawings, acrylic, and oil painting, yet the long-term writing, and poetry in particular, have become his favored creative medium.

Writing and my ability to write in what I have been told is an acceptable manner came mid the Student Hat Course, a study provided at the Church of Scientology and Applied Scholastics, when it became instantly clear to me that I could now write, and bring into being stories, poetry, that I had longed to create for more years than can be spoken about. I can’t overstate the value of this training. I would and often do suggest this course as the first and most useful among those courses offered to those interested in creative writing.

And here I sit today, offering to write for you on commission, where is the past eleven years I have written thousands of poems. These vary in type and form from two rhyming lines to many hundreds of stanzas within a single poem. This volume of varied works has brought me to write off-the-cuff poems or you might say that I have practiced writing poetry spur-of-the-moment, with considerable success.

Surely you will form your own opinion of my writing prowess, and I am pleased to offer you that opportunity.

Yours ever,

JHR
