Aprašymas

Naked Jesus? Oh, hell, I write down everything.Welcome to the shiny new edition of my deep secret lands of poetry with new poems... and of course prose... and a few short memoir pieces from my chapbook "Becoming."One of my rules for writing: Don't repeat yourself. Excuse me in this volume-because some of my words are yelled and repeated for effect.This may sound RATHER funny but I do not consider myself a poet but I string together GOOD WORDS, like hip hop poetry, my own alchemy. In this way the pen (and my keyboard) is my weapon, a form of exorcism or retribution for what really happened.On many occasions I call my poet self "Sleeps with Knives" because I have met sharks and monsters.Maybe you met some, too.There is big danger out there. We must all learn to navigate better....the words/poems are dreams, crispy wisps of truth.Ever think of humans as part of an experiment? I do.We're like elephants on a short chain. Mentally we don't think we can move.In this regard, we think small.I don't like it that I'm starting to shorten everything I write.She is a multi-genre author, poet, journalist and activist. Her work is heavily focused on Native Americans and Native American adoption issues. She has three unpublished theatrical plays, two fiction manuscripts underway, and an unpublished children's book series Red Man. In addition Trace (as poet) is thinking about Psycho Playboys as a theme for a new work.
