Ramon Carty

Jamaican-Canadian Poet from Ajax, Ontario.

​

Meet Ramon Carty aka Ramrockspeaks, a visionary poet and community leader, who has woven a tapestry of words that pierce the soul. In their debut collection, "This Heart Has Eyes," Ramon invites readers on a profound journey of self-discovery, love, and growth.

With a passion for poetry ignited at the tender age of 13, Ramon has honed his craft through years of dedication and exploration. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant streets of Jamaica, the timeless works of Shakespeare, and the powerful voices of African poetry and the Harlem Renaissance, Ramon has developed a unique voice that resonates with depth and authenticity.

As a community leader, Ramrockspeaks has nurtured a safe space for creatives to flourish, hosting weekly gatherings and writing workshops that foster inspiration and skill-building. This Heart Has Eyes is a testament to the power of shared experiences and the transformative impact of words.

Ramon paints vivid portraits of life's triumphs and tribulations through obscure metaphors, intricate lexicon, and free verse. Personification brings the heart to the forefront, as the mind's eye becomes the heart, seeing and feeling everything. This collection is an invitation to embrace the third eye, to awaken to the beauty and complexity of the human experience.

"This Heart Has Eyes" is more than a book of poetry – it's a catalyst for introspection, a beacon of hope, and a reminder that words have the power to heal and uplift. Join Ramon on this poignant journey, and may the words within these pages inspire you to embrace your own heart's vision.
