Collections of poetry
I work at shifting things with my poetry. Each book, a testament to an attempt to move a monstrously prevalent attitude that hurts humanity.
The more you have to say through your writing and the more understanding you have of current writing structures the better you are able to communicate in this art form. And if you aim to shift monsters, like I do, then you'll need to know the imposed expectations of the time, in poetry as much as any other kind of writing.
I've published 16 collections of poetry:
1. Afraid of myself
2. Amelioration
3. Beneath
4. Calling
5. Coal fire cream
6. Cradle of anger
7. Curl up and disappear
8. Err and Grr
9. Felicity
10. Inkling
11. Lost in the bright
12. Psychiatry must die!
13. Riotous favour
14. Sexual agenda
15. Suicidal ideation is fucking fucked...
16. Weird stuff happening
There are many collections I'm still working on. The monsters I'm trying to shift, are difficult and painfully embedded in our society through mass marketing. The poem 'My society is suicidal' (Suicidal ideation is fucking fucked...) epitomises this need for people to start really thinking, rather than just mindlessly following, or doing Mindfulness techniques where they follow some guru into some religious ritual that doesn't really enable the thinking to be free from propaganda, nor free from the human need to 'fit in' with what they're taught, without recognising the flaws in the teaching.
The beauty of my poetry is that I'm standing up to those monsters, rather than aiming to just market my merchandise. The problem with that, is that I need to aim at marketing, to gain a wider audience, in order to get the crucial shifts happening in a society that no longer truly thinks about what it is doing.
