Fluorescence


I could tell that I was going to enjoy the set of poems given to me by Jennifer K. Dick after reading the poem that played with the various usages of beginning.  I love that style of word play and whenever I write poetry it seems to delve into that.

  Her use of sound is beautiful, it flows marvelously throughout her work.  I think that her use of fluorescence is a an apt title for her work, it seemed that a good deal of her poetry had a strong vibrant element, through the lens of word choice, creation of sound and flow, and intensity of various lines.

Her type of poetry is certainly see myself emulating.  She has a very playful style of writing.  It is almost like she is making fun of the system of words and there is a certain sarcasm that I really enjoy.  In particular her Anatomy poem approaching the end of the page seemed very sardonic.  Overall I was very pleased with Jennifer K. Dick's work, and would like to look at some more of her work in the future.

Introduction

Hey there!  My name is Isaac and this is my fancy new blog.  I  have never experienced the wonder of blogdom and is indicative of how in touch with technology I truly am.  I enjoy surrounding myself in nature and removing myself from large social situations.  Backpacking, writing, performing, kayaking and swimming are all pursuits that I follow.  I own a turtle and and enjoy meditation while contemplating the possible motivations for both his and my own sporadic behavior.
