  A note from the Publisher on this book and its author.  

   Behind the Smile, by Richard W. Jenkins, is a collection of exceptional poetic renderings by a master literary author.

   This expansive three hundred fifty two page volume hosts one hundred forty five poems in fifty-two individual formats.

   Chapters cover Poetry, Romance, Life, Love, Emotion, Imagery, Sadness, Humor, Japanese Forms, Promise, Sensuality, Fantasy, and Thinking. Richard has even a detailed section in the back on how to write each poetic form.

   This is a book for poetry lovers from beginner to master, by a Poet's Poet.

   Richard is a master poet, poet laureate emeritus, and dedicated poetry teacher to literally hundreds. He has earned several degrees from Binary Logic to Architectural Drafting, Master Electrician, Grandmaster Martial Arts Instructor, Artistic Design, and Master of Fine Arts (concentrations in English Lit, Prose and Poetry).

   He says, "Though, it may seem I've done a lot, the more that's learned and accomplished, the further I'm able to realize there's so much I don't know, and so much more remaining to learn and share with others."

   We would love for you to order Behind the Smile in soft or hardback edition, and feel the thick suede-like warmth of its cover,

   Sales have been exemplary, showing great promise in continuing this trend. We are proud to be publisher and printer of this extraordinarily outstanding book, written by a true master wordcrafter.

Sincere congratulations! Nearly every writer dreams of publishing a book, be it a novel or a book of poems, and you've done it! I hope you're as proud as you're entitled to be. I know we haven't seen each other all that much on this site, but from what I've seen, you have real talent. Whether or not you publish more works, I know the rest of your life will be filled with the kind of beauty only your poetry can create.

Thank you, Jacob,

For dropping in to read up on my new book and to leave such inspiring words of praise and appreciation.
I sincerely hope you order and enjoy your own copy of my humble poems for many years to come.

May your days be blessed with the same happiness you've so graciously bestowed upon an humbled olde bard! ⁓ Richard 🍃

As you know, I am so excited & happy for you my very dear friend. I am now anxiously waiting for my very own copy and am looking forward to spending many hours of “getting lost in the pages” while reading your words.

Again, congratulations on your exciting accomplishment. 👍🎉

Mary Jo,
Thank you so very much for ordering my new book and for the nice things you've said about it, too.
I know you'll love it, the suede-like feel of its cover, and how easy it is to read in the Papyrus font.
Unfortunately, the winter weather up north, the unusually high demand of online orders overloading shipping, and high printing demands will delay its shipping until January, but you'll get it as soon as I can get it to you.

Be patient, keep warm and safe, and thanks again for your order and support! ⁓ Richard : )

[heavenscentgirl1]

We all miss you here tremendously … I hope you'll soon return to those of us who genuinely adore and enjoy you and your brilliant poetry.
I will be enthralled to receive your order of my new book, personalize it, sign it, and send it off to you with great care.

Thank you sincerely, Dear Divya, for your always warmth, praise, and support! ⁓ Richard : )

When words breathe, dance on a page, sing of love, longings, hope and desire, caress the heart, soul and mind....you have the very essence of the master poet, Richard W. Jenkins.

Your words mean the world to me and make me feel like a successful author, already.
