R.M. Engelhardt is an underground writer whose poetry and writing has been widely published in many online magazines as well as in print magazines over the last 20 years or so. He is the author of several books such as The Last Cigarette, The Collected Poems Of R.M. Engelhardt and many others.

What speaks to you in his poems is the crafting of the ordinary and its beauty as well as the gritty, daily reality of life and living in the 21st century. Engelhardt's poems in this book, The Resurrection Waltz speak about the questions and the relevancy of poetry and the place of the poet in a technology driven future age where it seems that the poem and poetry has been forgotten and-or has been left for dead (Saint Poem). There are also many other poems in this book that will speak to you. Perhaps with a touch of mysticism and even a bit Bukowski's ghost.
