Silly and Sad poems by Static Scum

Whether somewhere close and familiar or distant and bizarre, a good story can never be too far.



The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
