When it comes to poetics, do not think of writing as being anything in particular. Rather, think of it as being all that you've ever wanted. The poet resides within us all, and not just within the mind of the writer. Each work of art we read becomes our own belonging, and changes each and every time we read it, depending on our present state of being. Yes, poetry is an art, and 'Art is, what art does ' Book III......Conundrum En Passant is the next installment, by Thomas Walker, in a long line of poetry books waiting to be published. Thomas is a practicing architect and compulsive creator. He currently resides in Eagle River, Alaska with his wife, two children, two dogs, and many typewriters.
