Justin Rogers Poetry

I cannot thank you enough for visiting my site. Your presence here alone is a step towards the nationwide support of the literary and visual arts that I envision. I am a proud artist, Detroiter, married man and father. While each of these things span to different ends of who I am, they are not mutually exclusive. Everything that I am - writer, performing artist, drawer/painter, educator, Detroiter, father of a lovely daughter and husband to a (almost as) lovely wife - is dependant on my vision for a universe that does not base their lives on the stock market, on the U.S. Dollar or on the price of oil, but rather how raw, true, and honest the art everyone crafts effects our lives and utilizing those effects as the natural resources they are. You, right now, are contributing to that vision. THANK YOU.
