Bob Muir was born in Boston, raised in NYC, later returned to New England, and has been a resident of Providence RI for the last 30 years. He retired from the Providence Police force after twenty years of service. Bob is bilingual-Spanish and writes poetry in both English and Spanish.
While he was on the police force he studied Spanish to do a better job in the Investigative Bureau. During his pursuit of his Spanish degree he discovered his talent for poetry. A talent recognized, and encouraged, by his professor in a Hispanic poetry class.
Bob uses his many experiences he has had as a police officer and of life in general as material for his poetry. It was in his Hispanic poetry class that Bob wrote an Ode to Steven Shaw, which helped him bring closure to the killing of a fellow officer, an investigation in which he was directly involved.
