Sleepers in Translation (Book) - 6/20/2010 3:10:01 PM
One of the finest poems I have read in many years. Sincere and touching without being sentimental. Clearly one of our best poets currently writing. Looking for to reading his new novel...
William Samuels, PHD.
Last Pictures (Short Story) - 10/22/2003 4:29:26 PM
Tears! One part hit me the hardest in this write and that was the feeling of betrayal when you pray for death for a loved one. You just don't want them to suffer anymore. My ex's Aunt had Alzheimers. The last time we saw her, we told her all the new news of the family and so forth and on our way out she blushed and said I have something to ask you, Who are you? The hit of that question I will never forget.
Who Does The Creating Here? (Article) - 10/4/2003 11:49:15 AM
Thanks, Kevin, for voicing some of my own thinking along these lines. Perhaps your friend meant that by concentrating on a specific area, his "muse" would rise to the occasion. It may be dependent on the poet's style. Anyway, for good or bad, I sometimes find that works. But you are right, the germ of a particular idea typically pops into my head without warning. As far as formal education in the specific field of poetry is concerned (MFA, etc.), any gain is probably due to the exposure to new ideas and the exercises that broaden one's perspectives. My one-sided opinion is that I don't need to specifically pay for that if I keep my eyes and brain open to the world about me.
Anyway, good article. I enjoyed it.
Best regards,
Leland
Who Does The Creating Here? (Article) - 10/3/2003 5:51:17 AM
I agree with you. though I would go as far to say that poetry can't be taught, there are those who can help you polish your craft, or try to anyway. I have always believed that the poet creates itself, and the poet is a vessel. Charles Simic has a great quote on the subject matter: "It took me years to admit that the poem is smarter than I am." So when the poet stated "I try to make a poem," it is the ego getting in the way of the truth.
The writing exercise mentioned is not an exercise of throwing lines together, it is not a "found poem" in a somewhat traditional sence, but an exercise to delve deeper into the subconscious. To pull out the poems that are hidden, the poems that you fear to let loose, and we all have them.

A wise sharing of thoughts. I often wonder where the thought or inspiration comes from.

An Entity's Lament (Poetry) - 12/24/2012 9:53:18 AM
It begins it. I have been here before, as I could tell.
For finding: that myself I have reborn
But not seen, is forever to persist
To gather around the seasons of space with the everlastingness of event
With the layered energy as it is made of things.
Into the logical fiber of the tribute: a thought arises
And stays on course, slowly progressing, not done.
By fear: the fear that’s been since forever,
In the same space the inseparable normal good
Being passed through mankind
Came accessible to me: I fade into remoteness
An Old Man's Enlightenment (Poetry) - 7/9/2012 10:25:24 AM
BUT TO HIM THERE IS DEATH IN LIVING AND DEATH IN DYING...OH WRETCHED MAN, WHO SHALL DELIVER HIM??!!! THERE IS ONLY 'ONE' WHO CAN DELIVER THIS OLD MAN AND SUSTAIN HIM WITH THE VICTORY OF DEFEAT. NEED I SAY MORE...? A POWERFUL MESSAGE OF A MAN WHO IS TRULY 'LOOKING IN THE MIRROR' AND FINDING IT SO PAINFUL TO COME TO TERMS WITH WHAT HE SEES. I WILL KEEP THIS. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

I find shorter pieces present so much more to discover. An absorbing, yet disturbing feel to this one.

An Evening In September (Poetry) - 10/11/2011 11:01:25 PM
Beautiful writing indeed. It must have been a beautiful day and a beautiful scene. I heard that the concept of Love originated from writers and poets, and reading this I understand how that could have happened. Words can conjure powerful feelings and words can also give names to those feelings.

THANKS FOR SHARING THIS OFFERING, KEVIN...IT WAS MUCH ENJOYED. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
The Wishing Tree (Poetry) - 9/16/2011 6:48:33 PM
"Is there a center to the emptiness,
a place where all the nonsense
becomes relevant?"
A question, Kevin, right at the heart
of things...we may well have to die
to know the meaning of living..and your
final line leads to that, i feel.
This made me sit up and pay full attention,
good writing does that.

You have crafted some excellent images on a worthy subject. I especially like...
"passing like a ghost through the years"
This was enjoyed. Great job!
I Am You (Poetry) - 5/1/2004 11:14:50 PM
We all know this woman. I especially like this line, as it speaks volumes:
"her sore feet walking
down long streets of indifference"
This is a sit-up-and-take-notice poem. If only we would. Thank you, Kevin.

Creation mumurs ceaselessly, if only we'd listen. And if there's one thing I've learned, it's that time is relative. (Only some days, I tend to forget. Guess I need a few more lessons.)
A most thought provoking piece, Kevin. Thanks.
Sierra Dusk (Poetry) - 4/25/2004 2:07:01 PM
this one too. your images are vivid, which is not something your poems lack, but i can see it more focused here.
Bodhisatva (Poetry) - 4/25/2004 2:04:21 PM
Lack of talent? Oh, contrare.
How sad it is that Bodhisatva will never be able to go home. N'est ce pas? Meanwhile, I'll be grateful for his sacrifice and continue to dream of ultimate enlightenment.

The Spear (Poetry) - 4/17/2004 2:35:55 PM
Beat the rhythm of dark blue love,
years drifting from continent to sea,
slavery to freedom, salvation
in the work of becoming a man.
Listen in the flesh, and see within
that sweet dark face a mirror
to your own secret wish:
to find your rhythm, your country,
and the patriotism of brotherly love.
All songs belong to you, to everyone --
proving that even Time can be taught
to sing by the dignity of a man.
slavery to freedom, salvation
in the work of becoming a man.
These lines hit hard.. Superb write

Ascending Blue Mountains (Poetry) - 3/13/2004 12:44:54 PM
Kevin,
I could feel you reminiscing, searching for personal perspective of the blending of your own life with that of your father's. This is rich in symbolism.
I especially like this:
"The truck downshifted and I zoomed past.
One a.m. A billion stars.
The silent beauty of the mountains.
And I, ashamed to be a man."
Your pain is palpable in the last lines.
You are one deep puppy, Kevin. I suppose that's why I like your work so much. ;)

Between Worlds (Poetry) - 3/8/2004 11:26:59 AM
i was struck by this. there was whimsy to the image of teddy bears, and yet there was nothing whimsical about this whatsoever. that's the only way i can describe this.

"Eternity,
etched into the mind's
shoreless floe,
brings thoughts
of children and bears.
In the moment's glare -- Winter:
waking in our words and darkness."
This is awesome - not only in imagery, but the connection within the context of its message. Excellent writing, Kevin!

Kevin,
So many terrific lines here, but I especially like this:
"as I tiptoe through the obvious"
I like the symbolism of the faceless dolls.
This is deep and thought provoking. Wonderful work!

Interesting how this contrasts with my poem, October. Nice job.

Kevin, this is beyond profound... you capture a moments view here with the simplicity, and yet complexity of one's day. Thank you for sharing this....

Beautiful poetry, Kevin.
Words flow like a waterfall of feelings-- well done.

and when life begins to break you down,
then and only then take up your pen,
and share the knowledge of your equally
foolish heart, my friends,
my dear friends.
This may teach you
the accidental wisdom you need
to begin, and provide you
with the uncommon tools to
listen to the living,
and thus be heard
by those coming to taste upon the winds
a portion of your part.
This is wonderful... words woven into wisom..
To My Fellow Poets (Poetry) - 10/7/2003 12:47:49 AM
This is excellently penned. A wonderful write indeed.

nice. what else to say?

Very nice indeed. Extremely well written!
Temple of Laughter (Poetry) - 9/23/2003 3:28:28 PM
the ending is quite good as is the poem's entire. earlier i stated i noticed some change in your style, but this poem seems to be more like your older stuff, so i am still unwrapping the gift.

I really like how you bring this to it's end, Kevin. And with such truth... excellent...
In Spirit,
Bear

This is very good. I like this: "We possess a powerful emptiness." That is very true and ends the poem well.
