Ron was born in Merrill, Wisconsin, and was intrigued by writing and poetry while studying literature at the UW-Stevens Point, where he graduated with a BS degree. He discovered his gift of ability to rhyme later in the eighties. As he wrote, many interesting variations in form emerged.
A life written in verse & prose
Ronald Jirovec’s poetry is a lifetime odyssey through scripture, struggle, and the sublime heights of creation. From the farmlands of Merrill, Wisconsin, to the granite face of Half Dome, his words trace a spiritual ascent. He writes not to escape the world, but to see it more clearly: its fallenness, its beauty, and the eternal hope that pierces through both.
