The Gate to Understanding

Rod Grant uses the magic of words to capture images, ideas and emotions drawn from his long and varied experience. His lyrical poems deal with love, destiny, despair and hope -- the full range of the human condition. The poems are brief and to the point, and were written to be reread and remembered.

Rod Grant is a philosopher, artist and world traveler. After receiving a degree in philosophy from the University of California, he spent thirty years in the Foreign Service with assignments in Europe, Asia and the United States.
