About Me

I was born sometime in the 19th century. Left alone as a baby inside a top hat and raised in a forest by Dickensian gnomes who wore nifty little waistcoats and smoked opium and pretended they were steam trains. I have excitable hair and a tongue full of feathers. A big fat silly bird that keeps trying to fly out, sometimes. Othertimes it hides all bashful. Or migrates at awkward moments. I will probably marry a mermaid or Tom Waits. And then die, merry but pessimistic, sometime in the 17th century.

I just realized I never commented on your poem. I will do that.

Right now.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Maybe you can enlighten me. Which poets have you read that have inspired you or engaged you in some way?

Honestly, Adam...

I don't read contemporary/postmodern poetry unless I have to for school. And then I get incredibly frustrated with the boring lifeless same old same old copycat crap they have us read... and so I throw fits and grind my teeth as I read and it's a relief when the book goes back on the shelf.

I would suggest reading the classic poets, if you can handle them. Although the language is outdated, there are many beautiful concepts in their poetry that if you dig deep enough, you will find them. Maybe try with Milton first?

I wish I could help you out more, but I really tend to stay away from mainstream slam poetry, def jam poetry, and contemporary poetry that's being dished out today. It's very hard to find something I can connect with. I swear to everything holy when I say this but your work (among a few others' I'm blessed to know) is more passionate and soulful than 90% of the poetry out there. It's sad, but then...

Adam,

Thank you so much for your helpful comment. I changed the second line (you were so right about the sonics being too saturated or harsh), and I changed the comma to a semicolon, and I took out the "and" at the end. Thank you thank you thank you. :)

I owe you a comment on A crescendo... but I haven't had the time to properly sit down and critique. As soon as I get a chance I'll be here. I hope you'll leave it up; I loved it.

Thanks again.

Alia

Did you catch that I worked in the other lady's comment? :P

And I'd love to post something. But I have nothing to post. Nothing at all. My "muse" (I hate it when people talk about their muses) is wondering about a desert. A desert of death.
