Interpretations

by G.D. Master

Interpretations is created as an example of an e-chapbook. Its thirty poems are written using observations of images found in various periodicals. No poems in Interpretations are derived from the author’s personal experience. It is a move away from confessional poetry. Interpretations is the result of an exercise influenced by readers and writers of imagistic poetry discussed in academic workshops. It was written in thirty days (Aug. 23, 2014 to Sept. 21, 2014), excluding 3 days of brief editing. This poetry collection explores meter and rhyme using the poetic forms of sonnets, villanelles, sestinas, and pantoums. Mixed with these are the author’s own unorthodox explorations of non-rhyming prose. It is hoped that persons reading this e-chapbook will be inspired to write collections of their own and submit them for publication. Experience is important so write and submit often to as many publishers as possible.
