A poem is a messy thing, a curious joyride of unfamiliarity.
Readers bring their carload of desire to make sense of its momentum and inertia.
Of course.
We were taught by the well-intentioned, who never rode a hurricane and couldn’t feel its eye; who preferred the morning edition, comforted by the comprehensible, friendly and familiar.
Thrill seeking attention demands surrendering the need for prosaic answers in service of the deeper dive of questions;
Dave Stankowicz is a retired educator who lives on an island off the coast of Portland, Maine with his wife Debbie Jordan and their two dogs Jade and Cody. Liberated from the responsibilities of teaching he has found the space and time to pursue so much that interests him.
Besides writing and photography Dave hosts a weekly radio show - Palm Wine Radio. As D.J. Zachariah, he plays African music on Monday mornings from 10:30 - Noon at WMPG.org.
He continues his efforts to master space and time.
