R. Forand

R Forand spends the majority of his days contemplating infinite word combinations with the intention of creating a story or poem. He uses this escape to enter worlds built through his lexicon. Writing is a personal pleasure he puts out there for readers that choose to explore his work. He currently has two collections published by 75 or Less Records, "Blame the Kennedys and Other Gifts," (2017) and "Unwritten, but Pieced Together" (2021). He is a prolific writer for Motif, a Rhode Island based arts and entertainment paper, and recently started writing album reviews for New Noise Magazine. He has poetry published in numerous collections. R Forand is also a musician, playing in The McGunks and The Somethin' Somethings. The McGunks released their latest album, "Going Out Early," in 2021. The Somethin' Somethings are currently working on their debut album. For additional fun, he plays racquetball, runs 5Ks, reads and watches an abundance of television. His dog is a better soccer player than he is. R Forand lives in Warwick, RI. For more on R. Forand: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/rforandwriter
