Ron Androla

Ron Androla (born August 7, 1954) is an American poet and the author of more than forty books of poetry.

The faces and personas of coworkers often feature in his poetry, which sketches the minutiae of working-class existence in the United States in a confessional style.

His work also demonstrates the considerable influence of Charles Bukowski, especially in its disaffection and in its use of the short line, paratactical structures, colloquial enjambments and stream of consciousness technique.

His poetry often explores an oneiric mental landscape which underlies everyday experience, with recurrent themes of alienation and ecstasy; its tone is most often curious and subtly bemused.

He also writes vivid, imaginative short stories & flash fiction, featured in two of his recently published books.
