Charles Rossiter

Charlie Rossiter hosts the audio website poetrypoetry.com. He is the author of four books of poetry and nine chapbooks. His latest, "All Over America: Road Poems" (FootHills Publishing, 2009) is based on 60,000 miles of road trip experiences around the United States and Canada. His book of poetry/memoir, "The Night We Danced With the Raelettes" (FootHills Publishing, 2007), recounts college days experiences in and around College Park, MD. He lived in the DC area through most of the 1980s where, along with a group of friends in 1984, he organized an all-day poetry reading with music on the grounds of the Washington Monument. As a performance poet, Charlie has traveled the country with 3 Guys from Albany in their grand quest to perform their poetry in all of the Albanys in the U.S. When he's not performing with 3 Guys, his son Jack sometimes backs him up on electric guitar, conga and other instruments.
