lyrics

DISCREDITED ART FORM

I had begun working on “Violent Drunken Strangers” in 2013. It was a project that gathered brutal build. These fractured sentences came from various inner city and suburban locations. My last great poem had been on temperature-distressed pylons and neglected motorway service stations, but that was quite abstract and I found myself getting bored. I never finished the project.

The gritty allure of this assignment kept drawing me back. I had to get to the heart of what these people were going through, as artists that is what we must achieve.
The psychic and geographical reference points are blurred. There was no real beginning and I was beginning to think there would never be an end. The work came from need, but it was a need that was distorted by total subjectivity.

My subjects, being what they are, and let’s not mince words, were rather shy of me, but I pushed and I probed and soon I was capturing pure rare moments of raw sensitivity. I was onto something good and soon I would publish. Was it an expression of my state of mind during those, needy wanting off-moments? I got very close to my subject, and maybe I overstepped certain boundaries, but the next thing I knew I had woken up in A and E with both eyes missing.
