There's nothing here!

m. d.: All I want to say is I am very concerned about what I perceive as the devaluation of the pure lyric voice in world poetry and I pray for its renewal and enhancement throughout the world because I believe its loss is also in a deep sense the loss of the human soul to darkness and to senseless information. I also believe in the principles of artistic devotion as enumerated by Kandinsky and I completely believe in the reality of Divine Inspiration in the creative process (I mean, God, not something vague) and in the co-creation of art with God, the artist or poet and the "cloud of witnesses" (those who have laid the groundwork and have preceded us)having an equal confluence and influence. I believe in all art as a consoling, beautiful, truthful manifestation, not as degradation, obscenity or propaganda. I believe in it as the link between Heaven and Earth.
