Poems Lacking Words...

Last night's "Spit That" was nostalgic. The topic of discussion was none other than....


Often a topic referred to in poems, and often to inspiration of a lot of written work. But, as usual here at Writer's Block we like to "THINK outside the BOX" So, I felt that this video by Sia, demonstrates that so much can be conveyed without ever saying a word.

You can watch the whole video, or skip to 1:20 when things start to get interesting...

"Love, whether newly born, or aroused from a death-like slumber,must always create a sunshine,filling the heart so full of radiance,that it overflows upon the outward world."

-The Scarlet Letter


...And remember that next week's Spit That will be at Yume Lounge, but on Friday, November 21, and this will be a potluck to commerate the "Thanksgiving" Season.

This is something that I often debate...

Its hard for me to look at Kanye West as Avant-garde. Its hard for me to be but so impressed. And this is because I am aware that across the globe people are creating, and doing things so ahead of their time, such as these artists (and the many that came before). These are the artists from which he pulls his inspiration. These are the unsung heroes.

This is not an attack on Kanye West. This is me saying (to the people who think that Kanye West is the pinnacle of, much less a creator of modern art), open-your-eyes and see past the things set before you on your computer and t.v. screen.
