Diversion

Where most poetry seeks contemplative quiet, as in Wordsworth''s emotion recollected in tranquility,'' Diversion asks: What happens to poetry if one stops trying to block the incoming cacophony and instead embraces the multiple streams of data that bombard the contemporary thought process? The result is alternately dark and hilarious, straddling the line between aphorism and poetry and creating an atmospheric narrative through connections that form between seemingly unassociated lines.''
