The RikVerse is all about poems written by me, Rik Roots. I've been committing poetry since puberty, but (thank the deity of your choice) nothing of my earlier work survives. So the poems you'll find on this website date from 1989-1995, and from 1999 to today.
There's three ways to reach my poems on this website:
- check out the random poem or latest poem links in the navigation bar to your left; or
- click on the Showcase, Workshack or Archives links to get some poem lists, or
- go and investigate the Chapbooks - these are viewable either as separate poems on the website or alternatively you can view them courtesy of Issuu or even download and print off each chapbook (as a pdf document) for reading away from the screen.

Finally, for those people interested in investigating who this Rik Roots bloke is, feel free to check out the various About Rik links towards the bottom left of your screen.
