My name is Jeffrey Michael Miller and my book entitled " From The Inside Out " is my initial collection of poetry that is been published via Publishamerica. The book is undertaking effectively and even though this is my first book I've been writing poetry for quite some time. I care about the art and how the art effects people.

I want to talk some about how poetry is noticed 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 numerous instances by reviewers and critics and even booksellers that poetry books are challenging to sell and that tiny interest is taken in the art of poetry by the general public but I beg to differ on these views held by so numerous in the literary world.

I really feel poetry is such a exclusive and expressive art that has stood the test of time and as we look back on poets like Wordsworth and Dickinson and all the fantastic poets of a time gone by we can all agree that nobody can discount or dismiss the contributions these folks have made to the literary planet.

The Wordsworth's and Lord Byron's are still out there nowadays working hard to bring back into the mainstream the potent feelings and feelings that once struck a chord so lengthy 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 put limitations on them by telling them their art is dead or that their art is not much of a promoting point in society because it is and if it wasn't we would not have so many poetry forums and internet sites accross the infinite space of the web from nation to nation. 1 internet site I visited has over 5 million poets in their database alone so clearly their is an interest in poetry and it's growing larger with every passing day. Multitudes of individuals from accross the globe enjoy this art we get in touch with poetry and this is a truth that must not be ignored.

There is also a difficulty in my view with some people who take the role of critic and these men and women judge the operate of others and seek to influence how an individual chooses to express themselves via poetry. I feel that each and every particular person and expression is distinctive and I have never ever been much of a fan of the critic as Teddy Roosevelt reminded us in " The Battle of Life " it really is not the critic that counts and I agree.

Individualism and uniqueness spawns genius in my opinion in each and every facet of life or work and it's also definitely true when it comes to poetry. I want to read new and freshly presented material from an individual original. I don't want to see a person attempting to copy one more artist or his or her approaches. I want to see someone expressing their personal approaches that I will not judge because I feel I have no rightful place in doing so.

We have to bear in mind that it's not my opinion or the opinion of a critic that counts when it comes to you and your function and the feelings you wish to present. These items are yours and yours alone that nobody must touch or attempt to fine tune in any style. If Shakespeare had permitted his perform to be sorted out and played with by the masses then he would not have been the Shakespeare we know nowadays and your operate will not be yours if you permit it to be changed to fit the views of others.

Let your vision and your operate live and die on it really is own and let it live independantly and create into what you wish it to be not what a person else wants it to be so it in no way ceases to be your very own. michael de picciotto
