Observations from Detached Retina Eyes Standing on an Artificial Knee Kindle Edition

by Byron Hoot (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
See all formats and editions
Observations from Detached Retina Eyes are primarily poems of the road. I have, for some time, kept a notebook in my vehicle a firm believer that if something comes best catch it because chances are it won’t come again.Add to that the nature of seeing while one is driving and shortness and brevity become key components in capturing the literally fleeting image and feeling and language at 35, 45, 55, 65, 70 miles an hour.And something like these short, pithy poems come about.Images and metaphors, the feelings and understanding given by them, need -- are best born from -- the world of eye and ear, the world of facts as we understand facts to be.Poetry is where it is found. And while I can’t speak with authority about inspiration, I know what I see and often surmise that vision in language. The thing itself is always greater than the thing itself; hence, these momentary flashes of poetry.I hope these make you smile, laugh, feel, think, and act. How they may do this is beyond me; that you do them is my hope.Take a look, pay attention. There’s poetry everywhere.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Byron Hoot was born into a family of ministers, raised in a minister’s home and stayed in West Virginia until he went to college. The influence of church, his parents, the hymns, the sermons, the people, the questions raised and later answered cannot be understated.

Hoot earned a BA from Nazarene colleges, a Master’s in American Literature from West Virginia University, and completed course work toward a PhD from the University of Maryland. He was once married and worked in the world of business. He has four children and five grandchildren. He lives “far from the madding crowd.”

He’s hunted since his mid-twenties and fished for the last handful of years. Is as comfortable in the woods as he is reading poetry, sitting at a bar, sitting in church. The woods have shaped him as much as anything else. His discipline is daily writing and reading for over forty years. And now he offers Hoot’n’Howl Poetry: an extension of himself.
