Stuart Van Hoozer

Passed away on February 3, 2006


His poetry lives on.

 


"Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away."

Carl Sandburg



My name is Stuart Van Hoozer and I live in Tennessee

I have many favorites on Allpoetry, but there are many other great poets here. Hopefully I will read many more of them in the future.

Most of my poems are short these days. As my attention span lessens I try to adjust my writing proportionately. Unfortunately there are very few one word forms. I like the haiku/senriyu forms and even the traditional restraints of them. But I am not so traditional that I am going to depend totally on those parameters, neither in my writing nor in the writing of others.

    Then there is that long death
          That comes with the heart still beating.

    You have at last risen

    With raven hair and skylike eyes
    She sits amid a dream and sighs.

    Stu, i wish i had spent more time 'chatting' with you - seems like procastination catches up with us all, eventually. It is with a very sad heart that i write this, knowing that you have passed on, you are missed, dear poet. Thank you for leaving behind your lovely poems for our enjoyment. I have a very odd feeling, that, somehow, you know that i've touch your page, even tho i missed its turning. ~r.

    Stu, you are still in my thoughts
    your keen eye and gentle prodding
    helped me on the haiku path
