Late Winter Blues (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

I offer my book of poems as a union of words and images from cover to cover. Artistically, I also include graphic examples of my personal print-making, such as lithographs, lithosketches, etchings, woodcuts and drawings to join my metaphorical language describing incidents from various points in my personal life. The reader will discover words and images strongly verbally/visually cemented.

Willie Schulman was born in Winnipeg, Canada in August 1929. He migrated to Milwaukee in 1950, just after a major Red River flood. His first American stop was a day long visit to the Art Institute of Chicago and to the School of The Art Institute because of his interest in Art. He was amazed at the Institutes collections and became dejected by the power of their great paintings, especially their French modernists. His visit to the school reinforced the reality that he couldn't afford it. With eight dollars in his pocket he bought a ticket on the North Shore Line to Milwaukee where he was afforded lodging by his aunt.

It took six decades later to realize that the accumulation of Willie's life history is but a chiaroscuro evaluation in pulses of light and dark of a billion paintings, a zillion drawings and a scattering of wordlets that filtered through my brain while alternating between Artist and Poet mode.

A more contemporary self-description would describe that I lived in a Bi-Polar world in a Bi-Polar century.

The strum of living as any type of Artist/Poet became sandwiched and layered between Ecstasies, Perfect storms, and Alberta Clippers and only offered changes and instabilities as if I were caught in a huge, Jovian sandstorm composed of Graphic Minutia and Tinkling Words that settled into my last life's resolve to aim Higher, Live Longer, and return in the Guise of William Blake rather than 'Little Willie'? Come and decide which Willie is before you?
