About

Robert Deshaies II is a poet, graphic novelist, and educator. His works include Adam & Eternity,

Blackjack - 22: Modern Poetry, Anthology, The Living Death, Siblings & more.

 

As a Doctoral Candidate in Education and Organizational Change at Concordia University, Irvine, Robert’s approach to creative work involves bending theme, genre, and archetype to capture impossible moments and the dynamic intersections between literature, art, and appearance. Inspired by Grant Morrison, Mary Shelley, Neil Gaiman, Kurt Vonnegut, Toni Morrison, T.S. Eliot, and others, Robert invests his mental space in literary fiction, poetry, graphic novels, and the overarching themes of eternity and desire. 

 

To help with these thoughts, he fuels his days with coffee (and lots of it). 

  

As an entrepreneur, he's started a publishing imprint, Rogue Comix (roguecomix.com), a publication designed to welcome new comic creators into the industry.
