About Richard M Knittle Jr.
Richard M Knittle Jr. is a Best-Selling Author and a four-time Texas Poet Laureate Nominee 2106-2024 with twenty-three books to his credit. The darkness of life left him with addiction, sorrow, and misfortune; a path which left most debilitated. He relentlessly fought his demons, empowering himself with understanding and empathy bleeding out in his poetry.
Richard's fight for his son, not acknowledged through blood, put this poet in a battle of words with a judicial system bent on keeping the properness of law, but not necessarily the law of righteousness. His courage and tenacity blessed him with the right to be the father in his son Ryder's life.
The epitome of heroism. Richard is a veteran of two services in the US Navy and the US Army National Guard with three honorable discharges. Although he suffers from clinical depression and PTSD; he uses poetry in his struggles to advocate for all veterans. He enjoys presenting his poetry live on stage to audiences through groups such as Spoken Word Poetry. He is not only a poet but a published songwriter. I had the pleasure of being a guest on his radio show Poetry because it matters. His warmth and honest sincerity are very much mirrored in his poetic words. It was an experience I will always remember. He is a treasured friend and inspiration to all who read his poetry and are blessed to know him.
