- In many cultures and societies, the fear of new art forms and/or traditional Surrealist forms prevents those forms from being shown - Art is seen as a threat to the Status Quo and 'established' pedagogues. While the Renaissance of Fantastical, Surrealist and Visionary Art marchs on worldwide, with numerous group and individual shows in New York, etc., many rural mid and midwest geographical areas in American refuse to accept or show Surrealism.

- where does the fall sunrise
CAST its SHADOW
On the lighter side
of the EDGE of the MOON where
It's Notion Can't be SEEN
Where the cheapest melody and the larger
HYPOCRIT Hides
his shadow
As he asks for more and more and more . . .
Where, ON THE PENSIONER'S Whores
Just this side of the other shore . . . -
'The belief that the deepest of Melody pours out of the smallest of daily experiences - Ivan Goll
Poetry site under construction requires Key to Access
The idea that every 'act' Reveals an unknown or unconscious motive resulting in a corresponding
'sequence' of unconscious or otherwise 'subconscious' motives, artifices or acts and even consequences. The principality and simultaneous denotation of PURE Thought as a creative disruption of meaning, whereby the often ordinary connotation of words, objects and situations (melo-dramatic, contrived or sincere) shifts onto another place of the fantastic not unrelated to its original exponent, yet still manages to infiltrate the field of the infinitude as an inferential reality. Similar to a dreamstate that discloses something otherwise 'HIDDEN' to the 'dreamer' . . .
Poetics published in UK and USA - Literary Journals TW#4 1994 UK, Gypsy and Gypsy Anthology summer and Winter issue, etc.. Anthology 'The Silence Within', etc..
