So, who would you consider your biggest influence? cummings…even though you have mentioned never having read him.
Your poetry resonates with me because it reminds me of a personal favorite, e.e. I owe a great deal to Tara and River, two established bloggers with immense talent that took it on themselves to champion my writing. Once I found my voice after a while of just screaming until my throat was bloody, people in the community began to notice. I certainly never considered them making it to print. I never imagined anyone would read any of it. I gather from my daily poetry for the bulk of collections, but I also have quite a back lot of stuff that hasn’t been on my blog. Are these the poems you gather into published collections, or are those poems written specifically for your blog? I’ve noticed you post an impressive amount of poetry on your blog. So I spent some time talking to Mike, and it went a little something like this…ġ. Recently, his second collection of poetry, (un)fettered, was released for purchase. You are looking at the lady who struggles to make more than a couple posts in a month’s time, so to stumble across such an impressive trove of poetry is basically the wordsy equivalent of the end of the rainbow. It is an impressive catalogue of creativity. It goes without saying, there is much on his site I haven’t had an opportunity to check out, thus far.
I mean, how else do you account for a blog that currently boasts over 3700 posts over the past 3 years? Some months had as many as 235 posts! I just… holy cow. Mike’s Manic Word Depot is the online home of one Mike Ennenbach - an author and poet who seems to exist in an alternate dimension where (apparently) he breathes poetry. Though I wouldn’t call any of the poems simple, by any definition. The vast majority of these posts are simply poems. At least twice a day, on any given day, I receive an email notification that a site I’m subscribed to has released a new post.
