for those who actually visit the more popular social media sites where alleged poets and alleged authors seek to domicile within the confines of their structure, you will notice that my fiction work does not appear there. it is not by accident, or by censorship, it is because i do not choose to market my work in forums that produce, or coddle, more of the same. For more of the same is dull, tedious, and does not move a reader looking for something different. it is not my intention to gather an audience from those who want this skeletal prose and poetry. it is my intention to clothe poetry and prose with the description needed for a richer, more vibrant picture within the reader's mind.
if you seek a fuller, richer vision in your head, then you understand what drives me. that expression should be as warm and cozy as a tale that has transported you to deepest Borneo while you drink your tea and munch on biscotti in the dead of winter. it should do what no video can do, it should reach emotions and intellect that a visual picture cannot produce. it is why my poet's brush can be more challenging to the 21st century reader...the latter a consumer of what is told to him rather than what he imagines.
when my fiction is more reflective of my desired style, i tend to produce a poetic fiction, elements of the poetic weaving into the DNA of the structure. it is, if one is not accustomed to it, much more difficult to write than much of the pathetic ubiquity that passes as popular fiction today. unfortunately for those not seeking a richer experience, this poetic fiction may read like Latin, a mysterious language one might recognize in part, but have trouble translating.
but, if you desire something deeper, something richer, something different, you may find my tales taking you to places that you can picture more clearly.
