Ygdrasil April 2012 Issue

Introduction

Poetry flows inside our veins. The poet bleeds these words onto paper and displays the product to the world.
If an audience is found for this lurid display it is because those red words have somehow touched the mass
subconscious. The poet has become one of the “unelected legislators of the world,” a prophet uttering truths
the masses have felt in their bones, but have not quite had the skill or the time to articulate in succinct
and memorable form.

The life of the individual and personal struggles is valid fodder for poetry. We all live human lives, poet
and reader alike. We all suffer. We all experience joy. We sing best when sad or happy, less so when in between.
The poet’s song is his or her own, but the emotions can be recognized, experience and give catharsis to those
who have felt similarly.

From a technical perspective, I try to use as many of the tools I have inherited from poets of past generations
as I can. I believe in breath lines, rhythm, and even rhyme when I feel it is necessary. The overall structure
of a poem tends to be organic. It grows from the thought and music driving the poem, creating a unique prayer
or unique song.  The success of each of these word experiments can only be gauged by the reader. If a piece
stimulates thought or a desire to read the words again, then at some fundamental level, it has been a success.
If the reader finds an image or phrase haunting his or her mind hours later, then the poem has been an even
greater success. The sound should be addictive; the meaning thought provoking.

I have said what I must say. Now read, and decide whether or not these poems speak to you.
