"Poet Bob" is the Resident "Poet of Placencia" in the Central American country of Belize. Having lived here for over 40 years, Bob's knowledge of Belize and it's culture, along with his ability to synthesize and express it through his art is renowned.
Bob is known for his poetry and ability to convey in words, feelings, and expressions the meaning of what it is like to be a human as well a Belizean. His art covers not only the written word, but also in his creative carvings he produces.
