8/22/10
The Forgotten Theatre is now available through all major online outlets!
3/16/10
As I sit here the forgotten theatre is being formatted. I'm done 2 months from now its yours. Light cigars, drink up, cause this guy right here is movin on. Yup, a daddy again
for what i'm doing as much as i find it a bit intrusive, The Forgotten Theatre is now in press and will be available world wide...now 1 more and I can die,
4/20/07
Im going to talk about VA Tech simply because I used to live close to it and it it hit me
What happen there did'nt need to happpen as you guys all know.
What makes it worse is how its being driven into us right now.
I have to question the motves of the media.
Are they telling us what happen or are they introducing another dark hero.
Did the colombine killers need to be re-introduced to a new generation?(notice I WON"T GIVE UP THE NAMES)
This guy had amazing issues but is this really something we need to know?
To be honest I'm quite satisfied he is dead.
Now don't take that the wrong way, but according to the press this guy had so many warning signs that the real story should have been "how did he slip throough?"
Why did'nt the girl who he was stalking press charges?
Why did'nt the family follow up on the councilers sugestion of theropy?
I'm confused.
Not only that but why did a college senior site two what, high school juniors as inspiration?
Don't you go to college to be above blue collar?
Don't you come out ahead?
What part of his lifestyle was so bad in college that 31 people had to die?
He complained aboout rich people and women, but don't we all?
At least he was on his way, I mean they won't release his grades, but don't be surprised if some where down the road its leaked that he was an A student, ya know.
It should not have happen, but its just another example of just how easy it is to kill a whole bunch of peopl in america.
At any point at any place this could happen.
Those in power are not really that concerened.
But don't bash them to much because niether are you, all we care aboout is making our money paying our bills and what can possably entertain us enough to forget about where it was we made our money to pay our bills to supply our entertainment.
We are fu@#king sheep basically, and maybe Cho knew that and wanted to prove it, who knows.
My point on that is ok, so what do we do about that?
I would stop selling the guy for one.
Why?
Because inquiring minds can goggle.
At least that way we are not feeding the minds of the next one.
Quit celebrating this guy ok?
Right now thier is some kid jerking off his brain on how to kill 61 in middles school.
just quit it..

yes its been a while has'nt it
I started this site about 5 years ago with the sole intention to live the dream.To be a poet.
I put out Riddles for myself more than you.
I did'nt know anything about this publishing game, or how hard it is to actually make money at it or any of that.
I was under this cloud that I hav'nt been able to shake for over 15 years now.
Its this selfish need for valodation in an art that is not thriving.
I wanted to see if I could rank up there with all of my dead heros, possably become one.
I felt like I had sat on all this work for so long that it screamed to be released.
Sort of like a pent up orgasam that you know is going to be powerfull,.but is'nt.
(yes I'm venting but those that visit know that about me)
I am sitting here tonight wondering if it was worth it.
My history, or rather my relationship with poetry was consimated under a not so subtle hysteria of pychedelic rituals.
I immulated every poet I admire to the point where I felt that I had to do everything they did in order to be what they were.
Its very twisted. Almost like a unwritten rule book formed infront of me, as well as a sort of sieries of challenges that I had to take on in order to
unlock this gift of art.
I was so obseesed with it that no challenge was to great.
You have to see the reward after the cost you know.
Now, I don't know.
But this is a news page, so I should be giving you some news right.
Well I keep telling you that The Forgotten Theatre is coming, and to be honest its all and all ..done.
I have the cover art and the book is actually better than Ridddles.
What I don't have is a publisher.
I'm very nervous about releasing it, becuase itss been a concept I have been working on
for quite a while.
My third book Consumption is a project for me, my family has grown, and I now reside in PA now.
Very busy.
I recently discovered that the link to my bookstore was not working its fixed now, so if you
hav'nt been able to get Riddles you can now.
11/29/04
Good news now Riddles of Corrosion can be ordered from both of my sites
(poets2000.com)
Sorry for being away so long got a bunch to relay, but i'm going to leave you in suspence for a couple of more
weeks, trust me it'll be worth it.
later
12/18/03
An interview.
MK/ Tell me how Riddles of Corrosion came to be?
SA/ well, it was written rather quickly as a sort of response to pop culture in 2001.
I was growing a bit tired tired of the way music in general was being delt with.
i felt like we as a culture were drifting backward into ideas that we had abolished in my generation, and probably generations of the past.
We had, with the seattle movement, in away already shown that the boy band thing and the teen pornqueens wer'nt real or evenhealthy.
in a away we discovered a sort of thearapy, at least lyrically for all that.
But to my surprise we were re visiting the very things that created Curt Cobain.
i guess I was saying that those problems we brought to the surface wer'nt solved, and I can't understand why those artist pretended they were.
MK/ I think alot of people got tired of the whinning..
SA/ yes but like any problem that we don't understand we shrug it off, and look to the greener side, I think we were on to something.
MK/ but don't you think its better to be happy rather than dwell on the past, I mean sometimes its better to move on.
SA/ yeah but only if its resolved, closure is important.
You can't move on if you hav'nt healed right.
so if you have a broken leg, rather than going into a cast you walk it off and ignore it? Walk on one leg and be thankfull for that?
The mid 90s helped alot of people, if only in the realization that those kids were not alone.
MK/ so I don't get it, your saying that Riddles was an attempt at social change?
SA/ No it was a blast of reality. Look not alot of people look like Justin, and Brittney, what about them, where are they in all this. And when the normal, or ugly are brought into play, the media dos'nt like it now, they try to tear them down, look at all the problems Marilyn has or eminem, they project life as it is , one may go alittle over but is he not simply a portrait of a feeling?
Riddles is ment to shock, but I think its Shocking in its honesty, because not one work in it is'nt from my life or those that I have come into contact with, It screams hopefully in the way Ginsburg howled, ya know?
it was frantic, and depressing, in how desperate it is, but you can't reaaly alter it, becuase I at least, least of all, feel like I captured a feeling in it. My own.
MK/ what do you hope to accomplish with your work? you seem to have a message you want to relay..
SA/ Nothing, is everything, and everything goes unheard, right?
The truth lies, but is right infront of your eyes, yet you blink its dust away hoping that you'll see clearer in the fantasy you walk.
Riddles is comentary, an i'll smile at how it goes about loved, yet craddled only by its light, and ignored by its insight.
I write free hand, and freer still by absent minded pen stroke, I let the ink roll and what comes out is the truth unaltered.
I hope people read my work and find themselves in it, but onthe other hand I hope not.
i hold on to my pain greedily, becuase it seperates me from them.
If you feel the same, and have delt with the same things
I'm not so different, although on another level I am comforted, but maybe your better still becuase you can deal with it better than I can, I don't know man what did you get from it?
MK/ I got the feeling that your on some kind of spiritual dual with God, i get that your stating some kind of etheral case.
SA/ I've heard that.
MK/ Are you.
SA/ Yes, we all should, you can't seek God and truely find him if you don't at least get to know him, and how better than to question him?
MK/ yeah, I get that but, you border on blasphemy at times.
SA/ how so?
Mk/ their is a line where your drumming your fingers on his gates despite the chaos, asking for an explanation, and cutting off someone short and say nevermind, as if you already know his will, or don't care.
SA/ I don't.I don't care, but your right I believe in chaos and I believe it is a part of it all, and I do believe we will eventually all picket his gate and ask why.
And in doing so maybe we will get the answers we want see.
MK/ Yeah but to state those things in print just screams for rebuke right, i mean how can you not feel a little scared of what your saying?
SA/ i do, I'm scared all the time.
But I still hold true to the fact that we must question god in order to be closer to him, and thats what free will is all about right, deciding toto be or say what you want.
How can a God chastise you for using the gift he gives you?
I say just use it and suffer later if you truelly do, because its in us, those that will achieve heaven, guidelines, to live by.
I mean whats so dangerous in that work?
The fact that I believe that when te world shuts down we will picket his gates, not out of hate, but out of hurt bred by abandonment?
What father has'nt expirenced that?
MK/ so your dropping him down to mortal again b..
SA/ yes, i am. come on we are created in his vision, and in his vision we have his emotions, yes I do place him as mortal.
He is happy with emotion, it inspires passion which validates life. Yes God feels mortally.
And I go further to say that he feels as a mortal father does, and hates, and loves, and feels, but does not control us.
we control us.

hello and welcome to my own little private piece of the world.
Well not so private anymore see cause your reading it now.
I've deleted my previous news becuase its from a poet in a different place, since I have survived to see a new decade form new and wet infront of me, I've decided that I need a different approach, one a little more hopeful.
Not that I could change my own jaded out look any, but as far as the progress of Riddles goes, i should be more hopefull due to this new exposure its getting.
My work now sits in the hands of two record labels, and thats better than where it was.
So now it seems that yours truely is being some what invited to play the music game, and while it is enticing, it is more frustrating than the lit world.
But I did learn from my haunting advisor echoing lessons,
Therefore my millitant dandies, I will not be in the public eye, and in doing that, I will keep my fragile sanity, well fragile.
Let Marilyn's beautiful people have the stage, I have always preferred the smokey corners in clubs with a stiff burban and a knowing smile ya know?
My poety section will more than likely be re vamped, and in the same tadition as before it will be a work in progress.
So all you would be editors, and english professors, and gramatical freaks, please put away you red markers, and enjoy my canvas in all its raw splendor.
Ohh yes one more little quip, I'm seeking bands now to partner up with.
I'll write you play and we will create something new.
If your interested leave your mark.
Guestbook, feedback, e-mail what ever.
Realize that this process is not new, but sorely missed.
I intend to bring back art, not solely, but through all of us who miss it.

Im going to talk about VA Tech simply because I used to live close to it and it it hit me
What happen there did'nt need to happpen as you guys all know.
What makes it worse is how its being driven into us right now.
I have to question the motves of the media.
Are they telling us what happen or are they introducing another dark hero.
Did the colombine killers need to be re-introduced to a new generation?(notice I WON"T GIVE UP THE NAMES)
This guy had amazing issues but is this really something we need to know?
To be honest I'm quite satisfied he is dead.
Now don't take that the wrong way, but according to the press this guy had so many warning signs that the real story should have been "how did he slip throough?"
Why did'nt the girl who he was stalking press charges?
Why did'nt the family follow up on the councilers sugestion of theropy?
I'm confused.
Not only that but why did a college senior site two what, high school juniors as inspiration?
Don't you go to college to be above blue collar?
Don't you come out ahead?
What part of his lifestyle was so bad in college that 31 people had to die?
He complained aboout rich people and women, but don't we all?
At least he was on his way, I mean they won't release his grades, but don't be surprised if some where down the road its leaked that he was an A student, ya know.
It should not have happen, but its just another example of just how easy it is to kill a whole bunch of peopl in america.
At any point at any place this could happen.
Those in power are not really that concerened.
But don't bash them to much because niether are you, all we care aboout is making our money paying our bills and what can possably entertain us enough to forget about where it was we made our money to pay our bills to supply our entertainment.
We are fu@#king sheep basically, and maybe Cho knew that and wanted to prove it, who knows.
My point on that is ok, so what do we do about that?
I would stop selling the guy for one.
Why?
Because inquiring minds can goggle.
At least that way we are not feeding the minds of the next one.
Quit celebrating this guy ok?
Right now thier is some kid jerking off his brain on how to kill 61 in middles school.
just quit it..
