Classy Poems

Reaz Mahmood is a writer, musician, and visual artist who paints with words, sound, and light in pursuit of the beautiful, the profound, and the ridiculous. If you haven’t heard of Reaz yet, you will, most likely right here. As an award-winning* writer and musician, he combines the abilities of Kafka and Beethoven.** Exposure to his work has been correlated with dreams coming true.*** Children and puppies are drawn to his aura like moths to an aura. In short, his creative “genius” is mystifying! He has been legally blind since birth, though he believes it should be illegal so he can brag about it. Originally from Dhaka, Bangladesh, he has lived in the U.S. since the age of 6 when he grew his first beard. He was a rugged Texan for 22 years until he lost his cowboy boots and had to move to North Carolina to pursue graduate studies. Thereafter, he cannot recall the remaining details of his life. *Not necessarily for writing or music. **Provided that Kafka is the musician and Beethoven is the writer. ***For those whose dream it is to be exposed to his work.
