Pure Poetry

Introduction to Pure Poetry: Pure Poetry: pure but mysterious poetry is or has been looked upon as whether too highbrow, or too lowbrow, depending what generation you were born in, raised in, or happened to slip into. I can only define such things in my own terms. Some folks, who have jumped into this genre of poetry, have become too soft, or too morbid. There never seems to be a balance. Robert Howard did a good Job in this area, Clark A. Smith, was slanted to the more morbid side, and H.P.

Lovecraft was a tinge in the middle someplace. George Sterling was maybe the more flexible of the group, but could he be considered pure poetry then, since he did put restrictions onto himself; Robinson Jeffers on the other hand did his best, but wasn't the equal to the others I've Mentioned so far, so I feel, but close. Lin Carter made his point in this genus style of poetry and to me was not the equal of the others I've Mentioned thus far; but Richard L. Tierney was good, and overlooked--there are more to Mention but not enough space to Mention them.

Pure poetry has a flare for the fantastic. The imaginative poetry of this type comes out to its limits of expression; maybe a forgotten art nowadays. My friend Phillip Ellis is maybe one of the last, of the new generation to pick up on this dying style. Myself, I am a incompatibility of it: I use and like the style, the symbolism, images and metaphors it demands to have. Yet I am myself am in violation of this like Sterling--both of us guilty of not using its full force, as Clark A. Smith did; not saying he was better than Sterling or Tierney or Howard. Some might say I scratched its surface compared to others, if for real this is the case, then I am happy I did that much, and left the morbidity out; it is not in my veins to go beyond the limits of my values, not out of sainthood, maybe out of knighthood moreso. With this I quit with these last words: in this type of poetry, the swine doesn't commonly pick out the pearls, nor can find them, so don't expect for them to notice them.
