Well. As this is, after all, a poetry blog, I’m required to post the latest thing — right? Enjoy: http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4a721300afb727e9/4741e3c5156499a7/16f86ee2/-cpid/15b12de4114264b http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4a72137cda0206e4/4741e3c5156499a7/e8eb9e33/-cpid/14ec74a0d89f704d Continue reading

DISCLAIMERS:

Artificial Intelligence

I do not use AI to write. I believe writing is thinking, and I prefer to do my own. If/when I post anything here that I suspect or know to be AI generated, I will tell you.

Poems

Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

It is likely to be — it is best if it is — a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think — but it is not necessarily biographical.
