The poetry that I write comes out in groups.
It is formed as individual poems.
Each one complete to itself (some rather short though), but loosely connected to a number of others.
A big inspiration that caused me to bother with writing down all of those words that wandered through my head was a piece written by Harlan Ellison called "Eidolons" that was included in the Fantasy and Science Fiction magazine. Each 'eidolon' captured a moment (for me anyway) - like a verbal snapshot. To this day, I treasure the experience of reading them. And my collections are my version of creating verbal snapshots.
They are meant to be read in order - so I will post them in order. And in some cases, the number that I give them matters and means something. Usually that is only true when I give something the number zero.
I will also post a whole series before moving onto the next.
I wouldn't want to break up the families.
The first set that I wrote - I also titled 'Eidolons'.
I love that word.
