Book Overview
CLOUDS is poetic structures merging with dramatic form, begging the reader to read aloud and sound these poems out. I am fond of unique combinations of repetition and variation, especially when they play with syntax and satirize even cauterize political dumbness or societal insanities. I like puns and wordplays, which often lead to humorous lines that reverb back onto the main topic of the poem. The repetition can accumulate, double, or even triple up. Many times hilarity prevails and suddenly downright serious Earth tragedy leads to Earth hope. Each poem is different when read aloud, and at times italics give distinct emphases on the printed page. Often I use the same word as both noun and verb and it's all Father Sun and Mother Earth opening a path through the turmoil. Only poets and artists who are attuned to the world as a whole have the primary power to warm over the hearts and allow illusion to cast its spell. Our imagination places auras around the specifics of our daily lives. Not all the time, but sometimes. Good fun is the only escape so be prepared for that as well as occasional foxhole prayers. I am a performance poet, a native New Mexican. I express the dirt and sky and landscape and beauty of my life here in very vocal poems.
