About Me |
|
| Aldous Huxley wrote, in his essay Tragedy & The Whole Truth, "Good art possesses a kind of super-truth--is more probable, more acceptable, more convincing than fact itself." I believe this statement to be very applicable within the bathtub of poetry. The use of this particular adjective or verb--while in the moment may seem a given-- later on, when reflecting with all the romantics under fake palm trees, may reveal additional insights. It's all therapy, after all. Why else write except to understand one's self & one's motives & through this exploration--a special holiday episode of The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew & that old broad from Murder She Wrote--one can relate with his/her fellow humans. Huxley also said, "All literature, all art, best seller or worst, must be sincere, if it is to be successful." Bukowski showed us | |

I'd like to meet:there is poetry (in fact, multiple poems) about rotten women & feral cats. Wordsworth & his cronies would disagree, but it's a different world now & poetry has gone through more transformations than a Martian stripper. My goal is to be honest, as a poet & as a person. This goal may cause some dismay with my current self, who probably wouldn't pick up my past self hitch-hiking, but that's how it is. The events of a person's past are so interwoven into our current self--the Asgardian myths have the Sisters of Fate that constantly weave & knit different choices--that to remove one event may cause unimagined turmoil. For the Trekkies, the Next Gen episode, Tapestry, deals directly with this theme. Well, anyway, I try to accomplish these goals in my poetry. I hope I've done it in my book. |

Music:both logic and mysticism- it is the 3rd axis. I believe that one LIVES poetically- that it is a conscious and calculated decision to do so- and that the poem is a mere consequence of this lifestyle." |
|
Movies:With all Poets, there is an orgin story- a moment of transformation. Just as Josey Wales went from modest farmer to deputized vigilante/bounty-hunter, I believe there are particular moments where something hits us, like the typical WB cartoon piano to the head. |
|
Television:Whether it's a frost-bite exposure to a certain Poet, or a death, or an emotional crisis, or a desire to record one's thoughts (which seems to be an extended reason for myspace's popularity)- Dylan Thomas said, when asked why he writes, "They're just comments made on the way to the |
|
Books:grave." Age has nothing to do with it, just like Love, as Tina Turner said. Rimbaud started & ended young; Bukowski got going when he was 35. Everyone starts somewhere. It takes courage to share your most honest thoughts. That's what Poetry is. That's why I'm here. |
|
Heroes:I feel there are hundreds of poets being dishonest to themselves- Academia is invitation only, and Slam is performance art. If you're not authentic with yourself, then don't become a Poet. |
