I was 15 years old and lucky enough to participate. We were exposed to the large expansive movements of Pollock, the raw emotions of Rothko, and the subtleties of Reinhardt. The poems that we created were not direct interpretations but evoked responses.
As for music, I grew up on classic Rock but by the mid-seventies had switched my listening to WKCR. Miles, Trane, Monk, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Sun Ra and others have been a constant background wherever I work.
Literary influences are too broad to mention. I am familiar with many of the twentieth century writers. I enjoy the modernists, post- modernists, conceptual artists, and particularly the beats and post-beats.
It is part of the of the reader´s experience to enjoy discovering the obvious and more obscure references buried in the layers of detail of the text. In some sense I am not writing for the general public. My work is for literary minds who might have an interest in my explorations of the written form.ver menos
