Method & Madness

Method & Madness takes its title from Hamlet, its inspiration from Dr. Freud, and its material from the intersection of the two impulses: production and destruction. If one is too mad, the poetry will never get written or will be gibberish; if one is too sane, there will be no crazy play of words and ideas, no transcendence, no subversion. I walk the fine line. These poems go everywhere: exaltation, depression, expatriation, frustration, expiration.
