The literary tastes of Doc Record lie in the heart of America with William Faulkner, John Steinbeck, Larry McMurtry, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Richard Brautigan, Philip K. Dick, Tom Robbins, Robert Anton Wilson, William S. Burroughs, Philip Jose Farmer, Kilgore Trout, Aldous Huxley and Timothy Leary. He is the proud archivist of a complete(?) collection of the editorial works of Groff Conklin.

Dr. Record feels there is way too much poetry in the world but enjoys the works of Shakespeare, The Beats, (including Ferlingetti, Ginsburg, Kerouac, Snyder, Cassady and Burroughs), Keats, and most of all Rob Brezsny, and Tim Ruckle. Renaldo entered, performed and won the 1st annual Bike Trip Bike Festival Poetry Contest. Check out some of these award winning works of poetry by Renaldo Recuerdo.

Ronald appreciates the art of Kandinsky, Picasso, Girodet, Klee, and Klimt, among others. Recently he has renewed his appreciation of ASCII Art and stumbled across this magnificent visual synthesis of Art and Poetry.
