In my effort to promote poetry as a venue of education and entertainment, I will present to interested groups a 30-45 minute program of readings of my work and a few selected poems by truly world-class poets. My works and comments are appropriate for service clubs, school classes, church groups, and others. There is great value in reading poetry from the printed page, but it is incomplete compared to the tones, inflections, and emphasis placed on the selections by the poet, himself. There is no fee for these presentations, but I would like to be able to offer my books for sale at the event. If you have an interest in scheduling a program e-mail me at jwilson@abilene.com or call 325-698-4900. |
I am cursed. I am a poet. There are no voluntary poets. I don't know about novelists, dancers, artists, singers, actors and other art practitioners, but poets have to write poems and then we are determined to try to get someone to read them even though we don't care what anyone thinks about our poems because we had to write them anyway. If you say my poems paint some true aspect of life and have special meaning for you. Then I can die happy. My work has succeeded. It's a pretty simple life. There are three rules to writing poetry.
I hope you will read my books and they will wake you up and you will see an interesting, different, imaginative perspective on everyday life events that will help you will find more purpose and meaning to your everyday existence even though some of them don't rhyme. Please read a few examples. Glad you could come. Jim Wilson
