I've been thinking for quite a while now, on ways to improve this page... to bring it closer to the original idea I had when starting it way back in '97... Today it came to me. I was reading a book I own called Poetic Medicine (by John Fox). In the preface of this book, I found exactly the description to the ideal of this page:
"Poetry is simply speaking truth... speaking our truth allows us to know that our life matters, that our viewpoint has never existed before. That our suffering, our joy, our fears and our hopes are important and meaningful."
I want to invite anyone to "speak your truth"... write a poem/some prose (don't worry about form or style or meter or any of that other (to put it mildly) bs you were taugh in school that poetry should be)... have fun with it (or cry with it...) and write something that means something to you... And if you like, send it in to me & I'll post it here in a special section... I want this page to relfect the people that have visited, not just myself... I want this to be a starting point for healing (or a kick out of the gutter)... I want this to mean something to someone other than myself, so please, write away, and pass it along. (subject line should read: "Poetry/Prose Submission"... I tend to delete stuff from those I don't know & don't know what the mail contains).
You can find me at [email protected]
Thank you all!
And now, the work of people out there just like you & me... Very nicely written, it deserves to be shared.
