Rod was voted "DC's Best Poet" for 2008 by Washington City Paper. Check out some of his work here. from the Exact Change books website: "Apollinaire was modernism's first champion, and after his early death in 1918, he became its first saint. Lying in a hospital bed in 1915, recovering from combat wounds suffered in World War I, Apollinaire assembled the fragments of a tragicomic, mock-epic, and occasionally obscene autobiography-a-clef: The Poet Assassinated. This novella recounts the life and death of Croniamantal, whose birth is 'saluted' by the Eiffel Tower's 'beautiful erection,' who rises through the Parisian literary world to proclaim himself 'the greatest of living poets,' and who is then torn to pieces by a mob. A statue built 'out of nothing, like poetry and glory,' is constructed in his honor."
