About Me

JD Roland, musician, songwriter, poet, and author has spent the better part of forty years honing his craft. As a musician he has a well developed sense of rhythm in his writing. He graduated from the Colorado Institute of Art with honors in the early nineties. Four years ago he moved to a small town in southwest Colorado to start writing fulltime. This time was spent experimenting with different styles in an effort to create a unique pallet from which to display his thoughts and imagination. What we are left with, however, is an array of many styles, yet all holding his signature fresh, contemporary, and engaging vision. Some of his works hold obvious messages to contemplate while others require digging beneath the surface. As of late he has been published in three anthologies (Satiated Sunrise, Embracing Candice, A World of Love) and is currently shopping and negotiating his first poetry manuscript “Beyond the Blue Door” 100 pages of poems and pros written between 2004 and 2006. Look for its future release.
