R. Paul Tucker, M.D.
I was born in Kansas and raised in Oklahoma, and have been a resident of Arkansas for longer than I have lived anywhere else. I graduated from Annapolis, and after my military stint, graduated from Oklahoma School of Medicine.
I have been involved in poetry for years. I have very little formal training in writing, but am actively involved in the Poet's Loft in downtown Hot Springs, Arkansas. We have met on every Wednesday night for the past 20 years. To read, all you do is sign your name on the sign-in sheet. |
