Poetry

Style and influences

His poems are mainly written in free verse,[3] ignoring traditional rules such as regular meter, rhyme, and alliteration. According to Roberts these characteristics of poetry "would not translate the same in other languages."[2] Roberts had a poem translated into Cherokee for inclusion in the anthology Amaravati Poetic Prism 2019.[3] Roberts writing is influenced by his Oklahoma and Cherokee heritage.[3]

Roberts has given readings and speeches about poetry in schools, universities and at poetry festivals. In 2005 Roberts represented the United States with nine other writers at the Odyssey International Festival in Amman, Jordan.[2][3] He serves as the parliamentarian for the Poetry Society of Oklahoma.[4] Roberts is the author of ten poetry collections. Roberts’ poems have also been published by The Poetic Voices Magazine and The Poetry Sharings Journal.[5]
