SynopsisRalph Katherman was born a long time ago in Norfolk, Virginia and attended the public schools of that city. After retiring from the practice of law he began writing verse for the entertainment of himself, his family and close friends. Being an admirer of humorist-poets Ogden Nash and Richard Armour, many of his poems are in emulation of their work. Ralph tells it like it is - or at least how he sees it. And most of the time that's pretty damn funny From science to opera, young love to old age, he's got an opinion. He's also a bit of a cynic when it comes to poetry, believing that the conventional use of metaphor is highly overrated. What you get with Verse or Perverse is a realist's view of life and an uncanny ability to find humor in most things. But Ralph doesn't shy from the dark side in his reflections on America, the environment, and the loss of his lifelong love Helen., Ralph Katherman was born a long time ago in Norfolk, Virginia and attended the public schools of that city.
