With The Candied Road Ahead, Robert P. Langdon shares select poems
and stories written over a 25 year period. His works are sometimes
passionate, sometimes whimsical, but always personal. Langdon's
writing focuses on life experiences and memories of family and
friends; identity; growing up gay and Catholic during the 1980s;
pop culture; social issues; love and relationships. Inside The
Candied Road Ahead, you'll find a sexual awakening with the help of
Brooke Shields and John & Yoko; the consequence of urban
sprawl; one-way phone conversations that prove you can't teach an
old dog new tricks (or can you?); a new take on a classic fairy
tale; a modern version of happily ever after; an erotic trip to the
dentist; and something a little creepy. Robert P. Langdon is a poet
living in Northern NJ. He has worn many hats over the years
including Director of Sales and Marketing at a publishing house,
Director and curator at an art gallery, professional photographer
and teacher. Robert lived in San Francisco for 13 years which
helped raise his political and social consciousness and develop a
strong appreciation for diversity and community in all it's forms.
These themes show up often in his writing. Robert has been writing
poetry and the occasional short fiction since the late 1980s. He
began writing after being exposed to the poetry of Anne Sexton and
discovering, through her writing, that poetry can be exciting and
accessible. He is drawn to strong imagery and is influenced by
confessional poetry and the works of Sexton, Sharon Olds, Diane
Ackerman, Toi Derricotte, Robert Lowell, Ai, and Gregory Orr among
others.Robert's own writing tends to focus on issues of identity
and he uses poetry as a way to work through personal issues and
reflect on meaningful events in his life.
