My poetry is not 'about something' ... it is something. In fact poetry is nothing but the text version of my abstract photography as much as my abstract videos are the visual version of my poetry.
As Leonardo said "Words are a poor resource for capture complexity". I use words to search for significance rather than to express significates. If you understand what I mean...you've jumped to a conclusion. Thoroughly contaminated with dadaism, I like to swim into Zen ponds and dry my skin onto epistemological shores . Now drop your platitudes and just listen... |
