I’ve been writing poetry since 16 years of age and despite losing two large refrigerator boxes full of pressed down full composition books, pages, scraps, receipts, along with watercolors and canvass board oils, graphite drawings and sketches, series of sharpie drawings, original and not typed or photographed tens of thousands of poems and artwork due to a leaking studio and mold, the typed and saved poems now number 1,500+ on 1,100+ pages, and hopefully the original poems and books temporarily buried in a PowerBook Pro from logic board death will be recoverable and boost the amount on external hard drives by a bit. I have been actively exploring ways to express using whatever forms that I “invent” or explore, such as “Poetical Pills” which form I invented as a structurally binding way to present each of the Spirits and Entities contained in my book Spirits and Entities of the World, only to discover some are already recognized forms, while also writing response poems whose form evolves out of the mix of daily doings whilst reading Whitman—Greyhound Grass of 23 pages, Dickinson—And Out Went Plath, Emerson—Nature Sings coffee table art book, Silverstein—Eggsalad, Children’s Books, Geisel—Lorax-Approved Environmental Commentary poems, Beatrix, Poe, Solomon—Love Poetry in Trees of Love coffee table art book, etc., and may tend to mimic or “sound” or resemble slightly those poets’ voices or devices.
