After embarking on a transformative creative writing journey nine years ago, Robert L. Woods has evolved to a level of looking at every aspect of the world through a poetic lens with the aim of delving below the surface, revealing its many meanings and significance in relation to our human predicament.
He is a passionately powerful spoken-word poet in addition to being an articulate and captivating speaker in Toastmasters International, using his impressive baritone voice to add to his stage presence.
He has performed introductions for a couple of rap groups in the Bay Area and most notably is the introduction voice on a video honoring the late Dr. Leon Goldman, father of Senator Dianne Feinstein, at the Moscone Center in 2008.
Woods is sensitive to the complex racial/ethnic struggles and conflicts, as well as geopolitical and corporate injustice affecting the economic plight of the masses in the United States and abroad. He meticulously and poetically uses his pen to illuminate these sensitive subjects for his readers in satire, poem, and prose.
