Roger Ernest Naylor is a poet of the San Joaquin, out of Stockton-Lodi Region, as resident of the Big Valley since 1983. In recent years, Roger has been prolific with a number of works, including The Return to Frankenstein, The Snow Dove, and A Name Unwritten, some available on-line (see links).

He has written other works in recent times of smaller proport, as in Old Ship, New Barnacle, A Course In Destiny, and So Long, Mr. Fish.

In years previous, since 2000, Roger has gradually developed his method of poetical development of arch poetry or the mini-epic he calls “poemographic,” that is the master-poem through a series of one-page treatments in an extended series on a thematical course of evolution.

He hopes to put together an Omnibus of His Work from the First Decade, entitled “THE FIG TREE.”

Roger has an interest in social poetry with a historical bent, a facination for nursery rhyme, the Bible, Mythology, word origins, and so forth. Roger found his first copy of Brewer’s Phrase and Fable in Nevada City back in 1997, after writing poetry on his own since 1994, opening up his eyes to the magical word of word significance and symbolism. Roger began an intensive study of Mythology, and then dove into Bible Studies to round out his foundation in what he describes as “a self-tutored education of the poet.”

Roger hopes to contiue writing when it calls him and it can be meaningful to poetize for “the Good, the Beautiful and the Loving.”

Roger’s Mother was insturmental in His Career as a Poet, and Roger owes his knowledge of the English Language to His Mother’s assidious diligence to see that he read from an early age...“God Bless My Mother, Lourdes!”

What is A Name Unwritten by Roger E. Naylor?

A Modern's Approach to Epical History Poetry, In the Footsteps of Shakespeare and Milton...Like the History Plays of Shakespeare, a reading of Historical Proportions of Our Republican Past, Like Milton, a claim to St. John's Vision of the Apocalypse echoed in the phrase "A Pale Horse Cometh," of the Latter Days of the End Time Prophecies of The Bible

From George Washington to Abraham Lincoln, the Spirit of 1776 is examined in the Light of Biblical Anaylsis based on the "clues" offered by the historical events, themselves, as in the "coincidence" of 1812 with the Aphabetic Ascritpion=AHAB, which terrified the 18th Centurions...The thesis, if you will, is simple--The Emperor is wearing the same Old Clothes, New Rome, as the Founders consciously moldeled the American Republic, falls into the same pitfalls and has the faults inescapably visited on Ancient Rome that lead to its own demise...It is a question of Providential Destiny as such!
