Depictions of Life’s Circumstance
In the Raw Artless Tenor of Our Times
I believe that enlightenment is best achieved by engaging and exploring alternative points of view, that opinions and convictions are best formed empirically, and that perspectives be tendered without apology. They are merely what we believed to be true at a given point in time and are subject to change. That’s how it works when one continues to grow.
I have abiding regard for embracing diversity and inclusion, the import of the phrase “you do you”, a practical(pun intended) appreciation for the premise “I’m Ok, You’re Ok” and the precepts “Do No Harm” and “Leave No Trace”.
My poems are profoundly personal expressions as are all forms of art and ask only to be perceived without bias, or critique. I have no illusions about the impact of my work or my significance. Nor do I apologize for its tenor, or fret over how others might judge it, or me for it. For to do otherwise would inhibit free expression, and a reticent self-conscious poet is doomed to idle melancholy.
Naively, I hope my writing fosters just an iota of awareness in the uninitiated and some clarity of conscience in the culpable.
