I strive for originality, indeed I have a deep love for experimental and innovative art, as long as it has a message, and isn't simply experimentation for experimentation's sake (while this has some merit, it's now simply another art-elitist's cliché, and thus there is a limited amount I can apprieciate).
I enjoy art (when I use the word 'art' I refer to 'the arts' as a whole) that evokes strong emotion, particularly music or words that are unsettling in sound or subject matter. For example, I enjoy Dubstep and dark Drum & Bass, metal bands such as The Chariot and Oh, Sleeper for their unsettling sounds, and I enjoy Oh, Sleeper and Thrice (later material) for their unsettling subject matter (sinking ships, fallen empires, the destructive power of the sea etc.) I also enjoy and highly recommend the dance work of Hofesh Schecter, I used to find modern dance boring, but Schechter's work is original, innovative and above all actually interesting to watch. Youtube him.
I really love old blues and gospel too, like really love it XD
Some great bluesmen I really love: Bukka (Booker) White, Son House, Skip James, Furry Lewis, Lightnin' Hopkins, Mississippi John Hurt, Mississippi Fred McDowell, and Robert Johnson. In that order. Oh yeah, if you want to talk blues, don't bring up Clapton - the man was a douche that murdered the blues.
I am half Texan (with a father from Michigan)
I live in England
I created this page primarily to copywright my poetry
I don't expect to win contests because my poetry isn't pop culture shit. I enter for exposure, ironically enough.
I don't expect a great deal of praise for my poetry, most 'poets' on this site have little grasp of metaphor or allegory, prefering the exclusive use of emotive language; which I find trite and cliché.
NB:
I DO NOT COMMENT ON POEMS WITH AN ABAB OR ABCB RHYME STRUCTURE (or anything similar). Unless it's amazing.
Rhyme like this is irritating, cliché, and pointless.
When I do comment a poem however I try to give the best constructive criticism I can.

Chainsaw on May 11, 2008Hello.
I'm from "group of amazing thinkers". Reading your profile, it would seem that we have a bit in common in terms of the type of art we appreciate. We also have some overlap in terms of musical inspiration.
Going on this, I think I'm going to enjoy your work.
"Mediocrity is the killer"
That song is an anthem.
Did you see them when they toured last year? -
