Richard Green writes poetry under the nom de plume Rick the Poet Warrior.
Bergeron has known Green for five years, meeting him when he first came into the library. She credits Green with her increased understanding and compassion for people who are homeless, describing him as an approachable ambassador for the community.
Though Green said cycling saved his life and living outside does a lot of good for his health, at 66 years old he is getting too old to live on the streets.
