Poetry is my first love. Music loves me back.
I really enjoy the Sixfold platform. I think the methodology may be a little dodgy, but I might be wrong. Doesn't matter. I'm using it. It's pushed me to try to reach and connect with more people in my work--and I'm genuinely grateful for the feedback.
It's lonely out there, as a poet--and each poem is like some contortionist's trick: that's what "tell it slant" means, it seems to me--that we can't just do what we've always done. That we have to do it differently, even at the risk of losing some readers. Just do me a favor: poetry doesn't explain itself, so don't ask it too, okay?
And there's plenty of weird where I come from--not gratuitously, though. My weirdness is just documentary footage of the early part of the 21st Century. You all know what I'm talking about, too. We're in strange territory--getting stranger still, so it's a little bit of a miracle whenever I feel understood. Thanks. We'll write our way out of this mess.
