Hey everybody. I am working with a publisher on a collection that should be available within one year. I had submitted a manuscript and they accepted it however they would not publish any of the material that had been posted on this site. So I submitted other poetry and haven't been on in a while. But I'm back and still writing. The name of the collection is "All That Remains". 18 years of writing lost in a flood and it was all I could salvage from the trunk.

There is a strange hypocrisies. I believe in nature and many strange things in and about this world but at the same time I know that we are harnessed for survival for we must work to earn a wage to pay the wages of others for what we need.

My writing covers many areas. For a while I called it and stick by this either poephy or philosotry, preferring the second. I believe that poetry is merely capturing something with words. I do not think you need straight up structure, rhyme and meter. That is just someone else's design that you are cramming your words or thought into. It is kind of like the difference between buying flowers in a vase or picking wild flowers and making a bouquet of what you find. Sometimes I rhyme, rarely, but sometimes that is just how the words fall onto the paper or flow from mind to fingers to keyboard to screen to the world.
