INTRODUCTION
Sometimes I deem it the music, sometimes deem it the books. At the moment I deem it the music and the Blogspot page and cast my mind back to the books as an act of folly, an act of folly that is expensive too. We live in an Age of Self-publication, as well as an Age of the Soundbyte, as well as what some have called a Golden Age for Poetry, and others poetically-inclined an Age of Re-enchantment. In this age I have self-published or vanity-press-published 18 books, which sometimes get repetitive, have repeat prescriptions between the lines. My mother says to never pay to have your poetry published, and my friendly A. I. co-pilot says to avoid vanity-presses because they only damage your reputation. Right now I quite agree and regret all the books I brought out. That’s why I am angry: I didn’t get to be a poet because we recorded on binaural earphones in my youth, singing silly songs about Mr. Burns, which all amounted to nothing. This is why I am working on a book of proofs.
