About Me

a fiend, if fiends speak truth; if angels burn by their own generous completely light, an angel; or (as various worlds he'll spurn rather than fail immeasurable fate) coward, clown, traitor, idiot, dreamer, beast - such was a poet and shall be is....From the Life of Poetry by Muriel Rukeyser: Belief has its structures, and its symbols change. Its tradition changes. All the relationships within these forms are inter-dependent. We look at the symbols, we hope to read them, we hope for sharing and communication. Sometimes it is there at once, we find it before the words arrive, as in the gesture of John Brown, or the communication of a great actor-dancer, whose gesture and attitude will tell us before his speech adds meaning from another source. Sometimes it rises in us sleeping, evoked by the images of dream, recognized in the blood. The buried voices carry a ground music; they have indeed lived the life of our people. In times of perversity and stress and sundering, it may be a life inverted, the poet who leaps from the ship into the sea; on the level of open belief, it will be the life of the tribe. In subjugated peoples, the poet emerges as prophet. (pg. 96)
