About Poet Bob & Kristi
Bob Casey is a poet, writer, educator, speaker, and presenter. More importantly, he is a seeker. He sees life as an adventurous journey with innumerable lessons to be learned along the way. From everyday experiences to the special life-changing ones–all impact who we are as well as the person we are becoming. His poetry and writing often focus on these life events. He currently has three books published, The Wanderer: A Poetical Journey (2002) focused on his around the world trip and the insights gained; Wisdom from the Journey (2004), a compilation of poems, vignettes, and recommendations from the Poetical Journal, an Internet newsletter that is published monthly for thousands of subscribers representing all fifty states and seventy-two countries; and An Oasis in a Cluttered World (2006) continues to reflect on poems, vignettes, and stories that were included in the Poetical Journal.
His many other interests include travel, yoga, tai chi, chi gong, cycling, photography, wine collecting, and reading. He is a certified Tai Chi for Health instructor. He resides in Fredericktown, Ohio.
Kristi is a writer, classically trained musician and former vocational counselor who thought she might save the world by getting a business degree to top it off. Having accomplished her goals, she set out to shake up the system and instead had her world rocked by falling in love with a surprise baby daughter. She (with her nine-year old and husband of seventeen years) now lives a peaceful stay-at-home life and seeks to serve others in the small everyday ways. She currently has a number of pieces in publication and writes under an established pseudonym as an essayist. Her essay work will not appear here. She is in the process of changing stylistically in an attempt to take story-sized ideas and strip them to their essence using only the necessary words. Her work often reflects dualities of the heart with brutal honesty. She wants to challenge your imagination with the ultimate goal being redemption.
Her other interests include reading, entertaining, theology, film, nature/conservation, wandering around outdoors, and the study of the effects of music on the development of children/elderly.
