My name is Jeffrey Michael Miller and my book entitled " From The Inside Out " is my very first collection of poetry that's been published through Publishamerica. The book is carrying out properly and even even though this is my very first book I've been writing poetry for rather some time. I care about the art and how the art effects men and women.

I want to speak some about how poetry is observed in my opinion and how narrow the view of some can be when it comes to poetry and the worth and value it holds in society. I've heard several instances by reviewers and critics and even booksellers that poetry books are difficult to sell and that little interest is taken in the art of poetry by the common public but I beg to differ on these views held by so a lot of in the literary world.

I feel poetry is such a distinctive and expressive art that has stood the test of time and as we appear back on poets like Wordsworth and Dickinson and all the wonderful poets of a time gone by we can all agree that nobody can discount or dismiss the contributions these men and women have produced to the literary world.

The Wordsworth's and Lord Byron's are still out there these days working hard to bring back into the mainstream the effective feelings and feelings that when struck a chord so long ago. These people are placing their heart and soul into their words and placing forth messages that they want to share with readers from all origins and backgrounds.

We ought to not place limitations on them by telling them their art is dead or that their art is not considerably of a promoting point in society because it is and if it wasn't we would not have so numerous poetry forums and sites accross the infinite space of the internet from nation to nation. 1 web site I visited has over 5 million poets in their database alone so certainly their is an interest in poetry and it is expanding bigger with every single passing day. Multitudes of folks from accross the globe get pleasure from this art we contact poetry and this is a fact that really should not be ignored.

There is also a dilemma in my view with some folks who take the role of critic and these individuals judge the operate of others and seek to influence how an individual chooses to express themselves through poetry. I really feel that every person and expression is exclusive and I have in no way been significantly of a fan of the critic as Teddy Roosevelt reminded us in " The Battle of Life " it's not the critic that counts and I agree.

Individualism and uniqueness spawns genius in my opinion in each facet of life or perform and it really is also definitely accurate when it comes to poetry. I want to read new and freshly presented material from someone original. I do not want to see a person attempting to copy yet another artist or his or her techniques. I want to see somebody expressing their personal approaches that I will not judge since I feel I have no rightful location in carrying out so.

We should don't forget that it's not my opinion or the opinion of a critic that counts when it comes to you and your work and the feelings you wish to present. These issues are yours and yours alone that nobody ought to touch or try to fine tune in any fashion. If Shakespeare had permitted his work to be sorted out and played with by the masses then he would not have been the Shakespeare we know right now and your operate will not be yours if you let it to be altered to fit the views of other individuals.

Let your vision and your work live and die on it's personal and let it live independantly and create into what you wish it to be not what someone else desires it to be so it never ever ceases to be your quite own. michael de picciotto
