A collection of poems describing the exterior world, such as: Orinocos of the Imagination I've never been to the Orinoco and have seen few photos of it, but I feel I know its sinuous lengths, winding between thick jungle walls, flashing silver in the sun, delicate waterfalls threading from cloud-shrouded cliffs, dense foliage adorned with birds of kindergarten colors and jaguars that merge into shadow, the insistent music of bird cry and monkey chatter, dugouts and caimans scoring its sleek waters, those who people its valley gliding nearly naked through twilight forests, dappled by the distant sun.

Autorenporträt
Richard Greene is a poet, or has been at least since he retired from a 38-year career in international development. A lawyer by training, he fell into his development career by accident when, after law school, though planning not to practice law but interested in international affairs, he accepted an unsolicited job offer from the U.S. Agency for International Development. After a few years in Washington (or Foggy Bottom, as the location of the U.S. foreign policy establishment is known), he was assigned as legal advisor to the USAID mission in Laos and there discovered that the development business suited his interests and inclinations very well. Greene wrote poetry beginning in the 8th grade and continued through college where he studied with a Professor, Henry Rago, who later became editor of Poetry magazine, the leading U.S. poetry journal. However, he wrote few poems after law school as he became absorbed in international development, but turned back to poetry as he neared retirement.
