LAURENCE
OVERMIRE (USA) is an emerging voice for
conscience and consciousness in the poetry
world. Popularly known as The Genealogist-Poet,
he has had a multi-faceted career as writer,
actor, director, educator and genealogical
researcher. His award-winning poetry, eclectic
in form, style, and subject matter, and
often provocative in its direct confrontation
of social issues, has been widely published
in the U.S. and abroad. He advocates complete
freedom within the art form, simplicity
of language, and focuses on the importance
of what is being said.
He has published several impressive genealogical
studies online, most notably The Ancestry
of Overmire, Tifft, Richardson, Bradford,
Reed, which includes the family trees
of many U. S. Presidents and European monarchs,
and a host of famous statesmen, soldiers,
artists, actors, writers, poets, musicians,
scientists, inventors, and social reformers.
His work has helped tens of thousands of
people discover their family roots and find
their intimate connections to the people
and events that have shaped world history.
In fact, much of his poetry is focused on
this central theme, that we are all related,
all part of the same human family, and intimately
dependent on one another for our collective
well-being.
