Entropy is a concept I’ve tackled before in poetry, at least since 2015, when a professor pointed this out and showed me the Peter Redgrove poem The Idea Of Entropy At Maenporth Beach. I was also introduced to Baudrillard’s
Thanks mate. Yeah I have gotten compliments like this sporadically over the years and it's nice, means I've got my own poet's voice that I didn't lose after graduating!
A good sign for when the book eeeeeeeeventually comes out.
For me, good prose skirts the edge of poetry and always has a degree of awareness about its own rhythm and mouth feel (mind feel? assuming people aren't reading a novel out loud to themselves).
I definitely agree, and I'd go further and say that unfortunately this art isn't known or appreciated by the wider industry. I've read trad books which had no real style to them, it was just a list of stuff happening to characters.
I used to worry, being a poet comedian author, that I was too confusing for people. Comments like yours help remove that existential anxiety. Thanks again bro!
