| Introduction | Im a poet/publisher.I also make 3-D graphic novels from my own diaries, travels; tales of nature or gruesome acts: heart surgeries, childhood events; transfusions; married to Madness at one time; the Law another time; my struggle to make beauty where once was junkyard. Or sometimes reveling in the junkyard. I love to garden,for the beauty of it and the importance of returning as many parts of the planet back to Green so we can all eat healthy. I dont own or watch TV, rarely go to films.I collect literary ephemera.I love books; have many rare editions, tho none of much value. i collect fountain pens. I live in a caboose parked in a lane since 1906 for San Francisco quake victims.I love bird-watching, feathers, collecting nests, empty eggs.I garden 3 sides of my land.Pot farmers have given me huge containers I grow veggies in...Im lame,so I love the freedom of my bike and my carved walking sticks. I grew up an abused child. My alchemical process is to change my feeling of victim into hero. Yes! ** All works are copyrighted to Robin Rule and as Crafty Green Poets blog says, :Stealing is just plain rude. |

I'm interested in the culture that existed right before the Industrial Revolution and the work that men and women took pride in being skillful at with their own 2 hands and tools they made to implement their desired outcome, like making a scythe to cut down their grains come harvest, or making a spinning wheel to eventually make a sweater. These things fascinate me. I guess I call myself an Luddite. |
