Farm Ramblings: An Anti-Poetic Journey Into Small Town America



   My first collection of (somewhat) organized poetry can currently be purchased as an ebook on Amazon. I could simply copy and paste the book description from Amazon's website, but I believe that I can give you an accurate synopsis. Farm Ramblings is a mind-bendingly bizarre book of poetry, which was largely inspired by deviating from "standard" poetic protocol. I coined the term "anti-poetry" to describe the writing style, in that it satirizes all things predictable or conventional. If you want to download the ebook from Amazon, click here. I would really appreciate it. Although it is only 41 pages long, I find that it is not necessarily a "quick read" due to its intensely surreal language and the structure of its poems. Indeed, reading Farm Ramblings is anything but a passive experience. If you are growing tired of generic poems involving "spring breezes", "flowers", or "sweet songs", I recommend this book. Some unforgettable "poetic" subjects in this book involve: an abundance of teeth, cataclysmic dust storms, earthworms, sentient rabbits, and a small town prison riot. Lastly, if the expert book cover design does not catch your eye, I don't know what will.

Unconventional Ways To Market Your Book (Satire)

In this day and age, it takes something extra to promote your writing. For many people, this includes making a blog (such as myself). However, there are some novel ways to market your novel, if you are willing to put in the work.  1. Carrier Pigeon  Carrier Pigeons are extremely underrated, especially when it comes to promoting a book. Simply attach your novel to a flock of birds, page by page. Ensure that this is done in a professional manner with trained pigeons, which are treated humanely. It pays to have the birds disperse your novel over open water, so the (laminated) pages can drift ashore. The exposure gained from such a stunt is priceless. Note: Make sure that the pages are printed on and laminated with a biodegradeable material made exclusively from kelp. Additional Note: It is not adviseable to do this.  2. Messages In a Bottle We are all familiar with the fabled "message in a bottle". Unfortunately, this art is considered archaic. However, most e...

How To Write A Poem: A Comprehensive Guide

How To Write A Poem Don't. A poem should not have to be written. Instead, it should be improvised. Simply start writing words that go together. Forget implementing a generic rhyme scheme. Just take it line by line. Either write when you are full of emotion, or completely devoid of it. Ambivalent, apithetic writing can be ruggedly beautiful. The way a cigarette in a gutter can be beautiful. Keep your writing crude and visceral. Ignore convention. Make yourself mad at something trivial. Write about how much you hate getting grass stains on the ceiling. Write about hoow you hate getting ceilings on the grass stains. And for the sake of poetry itself... WRITE. If you want to read some truly absurd poems, I suggest that you read a free sample from my eBook (titled Farm Ramblings ) for sale on Amazon.
