as the nightly edge flayed against the middling Author's statement:
CREATIVE PROCESS As a jazz aficionado and semi-retired bassist, I concentrate foremost on creating poetry as music made with words. Improvisation and surprise fuel my work, and inform its style and content.The sound and flow of syllables moving in relation to the rhythm of the text renders the poem's meaning/being/experience. When possible, I try to work in the moment when elements immediately perceived have yet to organize according to our culturally determined patterns, enabling me to find new combinations or to turn familiar phrases into new perceptions. Sources for my work originate from my own thoughts, a lifetime of reading literature and listening to a wide range of music. My work also utilizes found objects such as email spam, and at times employs aleatoric elements to challenge my improvisational thinking and lead it in directions I haven't tried. “On the Rebound” is a poem composed entirely from the words found in spam email.
