-You have been very involved in the spoken-word side of poetry, what other forms of media and presentation would you like to see poetry have a place in?
I would like to believe that poetry belongs in the air. Hanging, floating, whatever. Everything I write, whether poetry or prose, I attempt to bring to it a sense of orality, a sense of performance.
Voice is so necessary in this art. Other good media for experimentation are audio-books on CD (at the time of this interview I am presently wrapping up the last bits of production for my own
Audio-book) and internet streaming. I had my performances from the Starfall Tour in Las Vegas re

:devHaunt: (Charles Francis) is as hard-working as they come, and truly an inspiration. His poetry is distinctly warm and sincere without sacrificing its delicate structure. He has also been incredibly generous with dispensing his experiences in the field with his non-fiction pieces on his page. As a self-published poet, he has a unique and un-jaded view towards modern poetry, and speaks with wit and infectious enthusiasm. My response, get carried away, it's an exciting time to be reading!
- What are some of the merits, as you see them, of being self-published?
I feel the first and most obvious merit of self-publication is the amoun

Dear Internet and Outernet,
Well... Sorry I didn't update for awhile, there. You can see my journal for a detailed description, but, in short, I was scared out of my mind about the upcoming surgery, and needed to take a break. I hope you guys understand. Anyway, I'm pretty much over it, by now. I'm still a little nervous, but I'm also psyched. I'm ready and rarin' for this tail. I'm going to get it tomorrow. I talked with the Khala, Kyle, Kade, and Christina (man... alot of "K"-sound names, huh?) during my break. I'm ready, and I'm going to come out of surgery just fine. And, after, I'll be a full anthro! A naked one, b

And some say that the reason there was only one word was because Uncle Danny got hold of the rest and God just had to make do.
And Uncle Danny had black nails and no hair, and he wore big glasses and a hat and a coat, and he walked around Copenhagen at night and wrote it all down on the cobbles, and in his head, and in his hat and, sometimes, on paper.
And Uncle Danny was everybody's Uncle, even if nobody could really remember why or how. And Uncle Danny had the Words. And the Words had Uncle Danny.
And sometimes it would be hard to see where the Words ended and Uncle Danny began.
And there are rules

This happens every year, but this year, I was alone when the ultimately strange clanging noises started coming from said chimney. Kiera found it her duty to wake me up (via tickling my face with her whiskers and purring directly into my ear with her cold, wet little nose) before the radio alarm clock even got a chance to make first wind, so that she could take me downstairs and point out in all her kitty wisdomosity, that

Flying buttresses, carvings in the walls and woodwork, and large stained glass windows, depicting my recent adventures in other stories (You should read ‘em, they’re writing by a hot blonde guy who could seriously use the dough—so read ‘em).

I know that voice… I thought to myself, opening one eye. And I was right. Standing in from of me was a man wearing red, and a long white beard. It was only natural I presume; nothing else had made sense so far. Why not meet up with my old friend Santa Clause today?
