Raymond A. Foss (1960) was born in Westfield, MA, the oldest of five children. After moving to Claremont, NH at 16, he attended the University of New Hampshire, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science in 1982 and a Master of Public Administration in 1984. He graduated from Franklin Pierce Law Center in 2004. He started writing poetry while serving on the Barrington, NH School Board in 2000. His first reading was for an assignment from the Reading Specialist to each board member to bring a piece of poetry to share at the April 20, 2000 School Board meeting in honor of National Poetry Month. When one of his first two poems received a favorable reaction, he began to write poetry more regularly. Since then, he has written over 3,420 poems. He created the site Poetry Where You Live in February 2004. There are now over 3,321 of his poems and 808 of his photographs on that site. When not writing poetry, he spends his time as an attorney focused on family law matters, along with trying to be the best husband and father to three wonderful daughters he can be.
