About Me
Thank you for stopping by, and leaving a note in the blog comments section.
I have opened this page as a venue dedicated to the art of the eulogy. Even though the masthead is for George, and I personally enjoy reading and writing haiku and acrostics, the invitation is to all poetic and electro-graphic artists who want to pay tribute to any person who is no longer three dimensional. These can be public figures,(Carlin, Russert, Diddley, victims of violence, disaster, accident etc.) for which I will dedicate a blog and open it to public comments and poetic contributions, a more personal hero(Uncle Throckmorton) who might fit in the profile comments, or satirical for the more deserving of final judgment (Fallwell) writer's choice to edit for taste. Although I won't ban a comment for the liberal use of the Seven Words You Can Not Say ("Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits!"), I will draw the line somewhere around graphic descriptions of necrophilia.
While I will edit for gratuitous morbidity, and blatant psychosis, I am inviting commentary on all aspects of death, the dying process, and survival. It is a subject I find personally fascinating, as I'm pretty sure it will happen to me, but I want my last hoorah to be attended by poets, artists, mystics, my own readership, and others who get the joke. Death is not something of which one needs to live in terror. I want to add a little fun and beauty to the grieving process.
Memorial poetry is a specialized and revered literary tradition in most cultures throughout human history. This will be a place on myspace to leave last respects, share feelings, memories, media, and fellowship with the others here whose loss calls for company.
Your one-stop cyber-wake and eulogy center!
