I'm kind of a usual old hackneyed cliche (accent acute/grave): 55 (was at the last count), male, 3 kids, divorced, exploring other options ... kind of a loner, kind of not. I frequently find myself at odds with things, but I am trying not to live like that any more.
I write to discover. What I like best is when I find myself writing and am not sure if the poem is leading the consciousness or the consciousness the poem - I suppose that's one way of saying that it is all about, for me, accessing the unconscious - but then, I think I'd say that the unconscious is simply a way of talking about the (unacknowledged parts of the) spirit, without sounding 'spiritual'. Heaven forfend. I actually think that the adjective spiritual disserves the noun spirit - the two are at odds > I'm inclining more to creating an adjective that is just 'spirital'. But, that's a further story. Tale.
