Raindog aka RD Armstrong
RD Armstrong, AKA Raindog began his most recent incarnation as a poet in the early 90s. He has 18 chapbooks, 11 books to his name and has been published in over 300 poetry magazines, newsletters, anthologies, blogs and e-zines. He also operates the Lummox Press which published the Lummox Journal for 11 years; the Little Red Book series and numerous perfect bound collections of poetry & prose. Since 1995, Raindog has labored to serve the world of small press poetry and continues to do so to this day. A dogged loner, he refuses to behave himself. He likes long walks on the beach and reading poetry by the light of the full moon. Someday, he hopes to settle down with a sweet gal and raise a passel of kids...okay, it's just a stupid dream, but who knows?
