Poetry up to Now... : (1999-2019)

By Steven Yessick

From a running poetry journal of the early 00's, to my later writings in Beautiful Dusk book, to poems taken from my own webmaster creations later on in life, these poems are the result of extensive travels, adjusting to all levels of society at different times, going to see live music almost every night, and most of all, using an inspired writing approach. All of this is captured within the comprehensive collection of experience and emotion that these verses aim to illustrate.

Definite meanings and complex messages inherent to each poem undoubtedly vary significantly according to distinct readers within their own individualized contexts. Abstract meanings may stem from the inherent nature of particular word placements. It is an abstraction which contributes significantly to the exploration of the variety of observable meanings and subjective interpretations that might arise throughout these works. A basic sense of structure is created with this writing approach that strives for a basic overall coherence, while also relying on a spontaneous writing style that encourages complexity. Each poem is rooted in a pattern of thought which itself is connected to a larger meaning which has not yet been fully defined. Generally speaking, the words begin to form cohesive dialects that immediately become interpretable responses to the patterns of thought that were involved in their creation. In other words, nothing herein is entirely concrete.

Readers' experiences create highly individualized interpretations of a writing style which is abstract in nature at times, yet remains fully within the realm of comprehension.These are real free verse poems, created in the moment using only enough editing to prevent unwanted misspellings and unnecessary punctuation errors. The rest of it is left in its purest, most natural, and holiest state. It is a poetry rooted in innocence, and drawn from that place inside of all of us where true inspiration can only be found at certain times. These words will always remain where they were originally placed. Staying true to the moment involves respecting the significance of the experience of a deeper connection to a more meaningful and otherworldly realm from which the almost supernatural ability required to write these poems is derived.

These writings speak to a place of unity that exists among all people, and which manifests at times through the work of those who perhaps feel a strong connection to a larger universal interconnectedness. A basic unity within all things truly exists, but everyone is not yet willing to accept this fact. These poems truly are rooted from within this place of unity, and have themselves manifested by connecting to such a divine intelligence. Wanderings within otherworldly planes of existence, as well as glimpses into certain otherwise unnoticed perspectives on life all contribute significantly to the overall success of the writing. A powerful mixture of the sacred combined with an aura of the profane facilitates a certain surreal balance reminiscent of the ethereal dreamscapes to which my imagination travels when I write these lingering scraps of hope in their initial state of finality.
