LITERARY PROJECTS

some of the world's poetry

The collection was officially started in January 2007, although it contains five or six poems that had accumulated over about as many years.  My relationship with poetry is strange.  I write it for months, then don't write it for years.  These were the months and this was the year to do it.

The title has to do with the notion that the process of writing poetry is akin to an accidental unraveling of some possibilities amidst the many inherent in the language.  In a sense, all of the world’s poetry, both written and yet unwritten, can be represented as a set of combinations formed by the words we already have at our disposal.  All poetry already exists. 

The collection was finished in November 2007.

Strangely enough, two of the poems have already become songs for my upcoming second CD "Frozen Angels" (title tentative)
