| Bio: | I believe in faith,
despite the universe
seething and reeling
hissing like a spoiled child
and glowing like an emaciated ascetic
fat with wisdom.
Life is random and chance will hold your hand
and throw you to soft clouds
which we call dreams,
whether they may float up to where you might want
or dissolve and be forgotten
as you plummet to the wolves.
And change?
that will be the most constant thing in any life led ever.

"[The literary image] is polyphonic because it is polysemantic. If meanings become too profuse, it can fall into word play. If it restricts itself to a single meaning, it can fall into didacticism. The true poet avoids both dangers." -Gaston Bachelard
"Any mind that is worth calling a mind must have needs beyond the existing categories of language, just as a painter must have pigments or shades more numerous than the existing names of the colours." -Ezra Pound (1916)
"In my time, I have found a solace and consolation in the written word. The universe I inhabit remains a mystery but I go on living and writing, nonetheless, as though there were a reason for both. Almost every day I create an order on the page, which reflects the order I see in the world. Whether it actually is one or not doesn’t matter as much as the fact that the quest moves me forward as though I am headed somewhere, and rescues me from the despair that would overwhelm me if I were not." -David Horowitz (2005)
"Artistic growth is, more than it is anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is." -Willa Cather, The Song of the Lark.
"Art lies in suggestion." -Robert Bresson
