My teachers were often very eccentric.

Certainly the beat writers I've known who carried forward the original, you know, I'd say that came together in the 1940s and 50s. So I was inheriting in a way some of that ethos.

I am a self-appointed ambassador for poetry.

I am a poet, bard, scop, minnesinger, trobairitz who is driven by sound and the possibilities for vocal expression, the mouthing of text as well as intentionality or dance on the page.

Any technology is just a skillful means and it's how you use it.

Personally there is first: imagination; second: the act of writing - and third: the act/act of vocalizing.

We humans need to do better with our vast minds and alchemical powers. Future radial poetries might be more symbiotic with the rest of consciousness.
