Poet Introduction

I favor clear, straightforward writing, based on real life experience.  I think form poetry is fine but  if it has little or no emotional impact.  I like poems that cause my stomach to drop when I read them.  

Favorite Poets/Writers

Charles Bukowski, Yusef Komunyakaa, Raymond Carver, Henry Miller, VS Naipaul, Ford Maddox Ford

About Me

Read Full
Lower middle class. Raised working class. Read too much for my own good. Owned a wholesale bakery for eighteen years.  Now work for the new owners. Have lots of artistic interests including photography, making jewelry, and writing short stories and poems.

I live in a suburb of Seattle, out by the airport in a town with a rather large Somalian community.  I am married and have two grown sons by a previous marriage.  Everybody gets written about.  Luckily no body I know reads my stuff.

I am a committed atheist, rationalist.  My politics are far left and I own guns and stock pile food against the day the right wing religious fanatics, and i don't care what religion that is, take over.  I aspire to being a lovable curmudgeon.  You can see some of my work on Youtube search for vudu8ball.

I am laughing most of the time.
