18th Century Concrete Mash-Up Post


Sunday morning spent tinkering with poems and fragments of poems written late the previous evening - concrete poems, handwritten poems, 18th century rip offs - mash 'em up, spit 'em out, blog 'em!


Poetic detritus, maybe...but crucial to the process, the ongoing mental experiment, the eternal ravaging of mind by thought. Here's a thought:

We are all God thoughts...and, just as our thoughts are not us, but inseparable parts of us with their own independent, free-wheeling, free-willing ways (which can only rest through a process of stilling) ...we are indistinguishable from God when we rest in Him, surrender our ears and eyes to Him. And yet we are distinct and free to create all sorts of vanity and delusion, evil even.

More detritus from a head stuck in an endless loop of lives lived in vanity and delusion. Every sun/son is somehow sheltered...somehow.

Every Sun is Somehow Sheltered

LOOK UP! Part 1 - a reading from Lunar Poems for New Religions

LOOK UP!

This is a link to a private reading of Part 1 of LOOK UP!, the long poem from Lunar Poems for New Religions. It has one or two little mistakes, and is maybe a little speedy or shaky in parts, but I'm happy enough with it. It conveys the vulnerability of the experience with a particularly Scottish lilt. I do hope you enjoy it!

Glaucoma Poem


...being tested this Friday for Glaucoma after burning my eye with bleach last weekend. No fun for a visual poet...
