Anarcho Artissimo

These poems were written at various times in the years 2018 to 2023. They are variously Free Verse and Traditional Form poetry. I have written from a Counter-cultural perspective rooted in the Beat movement of the 1950's and moving through the 1960's to the present day. The poems are at times humorous and irreverent and at others spiritual and transcendentalist. My studies in philosophy are also reflected as I explore the ideas of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Existentialism, Humanism, Modernism and Postmodernism, establishing myself in Atheism. Anarchy means not being subject to the rulership of an overlord. In art this can be achieved more easily than in politics and with the new scenario in desktop publishing a wonderful DIY opportunity has become available. Included is my essay about T.S. Eliot's poem 'The Wasteland.' In this book I emerge with the realisation that education in Transpersonal Consciousness is the key to Peace on Earth.
