Mr. Rex B. Valentine has many poems written as a child and as a youth, that his mother, Dorothy E. Valentine, carefully saved for him. After her death in 2002 at the age of 91, he discovered her treasure of his writings. He has since published six books of poetry and other stories, most of them drawn from his active, interesting life.
He has won many international awards for his narrative poetry, including five first place winning poems in previous World Congress of Poets international contests, many 2nd and 3rd honorable mentions, which lead to his selection as the Guest Poet of the 104 World Congress of Poets conference in Osaka, Japan. Rex’s poems have been published in books, newspapers, magazines and other media in the last 10 years. He serves as Vice President of the Northwest USA of World Congress of Poets.
His universal backgrounds and interests range from real estate broker to water witcher. He currently lives on a cattle ranch in the state of Washington with his wife, enjoying his children and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In poetry, he is a folksy, down-home poet with humorous messages of family values, clean living and universal love.
