An aesthetic best described as collagist, reconstructivist: a stream of conscious meandering of highly cryptic personal references and glowing glaring universalist imagery and sermonizing. A prime focus on word play and reinvention, but a primer focus on harmony within the meandering
The object is twofold:
1. Inspire through beautiful imagery and coherent statemental declarations
2. Inspire through entirely incomprehensive word constructions. When the words themselves don’t make sense, it pushes the reader to invent sense for them.
Storytelling through train of thought – focus on an unsettled element of the heart or vulnerable mind + connect the disparate feelings it causes to rise through free association and stream of consciousness.
The intention is not to reinscribe the gospels or even to tell a good story – that will be left to those who are naturally (actually) talented at that kind of thing.
The goal is to provoke through a new kind of word assertion.
Influences include Walt Whitman, James Joyce, William Carlos Williams, James Collector, Nikolas Hanks, and Carlee Joyce Ryan.
