Known by many as an artist and a visionary, Ralph A. has made it a life mission to constantly strive to express himself through multiple different platforms of which he holds value towards. Many of his works date back to a very young age, first receiving national recognition among the writing community after two poems published in the Young Poets Anthropology, 2006, a publication dedicated to nurturing the beauty, self expression and fun of poetry in young writers.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts in the late 1980’s, Ralph was raised in the town of Arlington, one of the first villages settled by European colonists in 1635 under the name Menotomy, an Algonquian word meaning “swift running water.” The town’s creed/moto is Libertatis Propugnatio Hereditas Avita (Latin) “The Defense of Liberty is Our Ancestral Heritage.”
