Back at it.Studying post-modern poetry this semester so should see some interesting things being forced through my cheese grater-like brain, to emerge as some sort of mess on DA.

| I write free verse poetry heavily influenced by the anglo-american modernists of the early 20th century, and confessional poetry like Silvia Plath. I also love natural post-modernism like Ted Hughes and Judith Wright. I'm interested in modern epic poetry like Ezra Pound's "cantos" and H.D's late work. I also recently found Homer Rieth - an Australian poet who has written an epic about the Wimmera region. I hope to one day acquire enough worldly experience to write my own epic, probably something based around man's relationship with his environment or something like that. Feel free to chat with me or whatever, I'm always interested. I'm also a self-producing musician. Check out [link] for some examples! And my band: [link] |

you do have tremendous taste in poets, no doubt due to your hungry attention to education in postmodern literature and/or yearn for pure human expression. and, sincerely, thank you for looking through my work, whether its intent was educational or expressive (or both)!
reading suggestions: phillip levine, louise gluck, john berryman, denise levertov, michael palmer, sharon olds
surely you've read at least one of the above, but i think you'll relish them all in some retainable way
keep writing!
