It's a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it.
Before I was ever a poet, my father was writing poems about me, so it was a turning of the tables when I became a poet and started answering, speaking back to his poems in ways that I had not before.
I cannot speak for more than an hour exclusively about poetry. At that point, life itself takes over again.
I now believe that major labels can only work with people who care more about fame and money than the quality of the art they produce.
In my writing with Extreme, there are heavy themes. The cover photo has me with a gun to my neck. I am not advocating suicide. I am taking the philosophy that man is the measure of his own fate.

For me, faith is more about aspiration than complacency - the smug satisfaction that other people find distasteful.
