MY TINY AUTOBIOGRAPHY.jpg

MY TINY AUTOBIOGRAPHY.jpg by jdyf333.
(I recently scanned and placed online approximately 4,000 pages of the 'poetry' I have hand-scribbled since 1969.) I Love Poetry!

A copy of a 1981 chapbook of my psychedelic poetry A LANDSCAPE OF WRISTS is in The Library of Congress, and in the libraries of The University of California at Berkeley, The University of California at Santa Cruz, The University of California at San Diego, and California State University--East Bay. (The full text of A LANDSCAPE OF WRISTS [with illustrations by jdyf333] can be viewed by clicking here: www.flickr.com/photos/jdyf333/sets/72157601783058195/ ) Additionally, a copy of my 1971 volume of LSD poetry, STARVE THE MOTHS, is in the library of The University of California at Berkeley. Copies of The Open Cell, a literary publication that published some of my poetry in 1969, are in the libraries of The University of California at Berkeley, The University of California at Santa Barbara, and The University of California at Santa Cruz. Some of my poetry appeared in THE ANTHOLOGY OF UNDERGROUND POETRY [edited by Herman Berlandt, and published in Berkeley, California by Poets' Commune Publications in 1970].)

just a "stream of consciousness". Spontaneity sometimes yields true colors. Just my take not my "judgement" etc.

You are a rare species. Endangered unfortunately.

Wow this is an amazing story. It both uplifts me and saddens me, to think my government would jail people for this and then turn round and commit crimes against humanity on a massive scale breaks my heart. It angers me to think about it too long. Thank you for looking at my pics if you had not i may have never seen your profile. Your one amazing fellow and in your honor i will never pass wet cement again without taking my two inches or ten.

Thank you, Rebekka Pierre, for your kind comments! The truth is that we all share complicity, unfortunately, because the Beast is so omnipresent. Any minimization of complicity in my life has been more the result of luck than will. I doubt the amazing and precious luxury of walking deserted city streets, speaking to no one for many months at a time, of being seriously able, every waking minute of every day, "To see the world in a grain of sand" while standing thunderstruck in the middle of the sidewalk in front of some utterly random address would have been afforded me if i had not been a quietly polite clean-shaven Older White Male in Berkeley, California...

Una elocuente y por sí misma biografía.
Me gusto mucho el concepto que manejas en las imagenes. Es totalmente lisérgico. Te mando un saludo mexica.
Espero estés bien, dale duro a todo.

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for posting your art work. It is truly inspiring. I am quite new to the flickr community and as pathetic as it sounds, I have spent a total of about 2 hours just browsing through your artwork. Like the others have mentioned, I am sure many people would be fascinated by a more lengthy autobiography. It seems to me that you would have more than enough to write about. Anyway I plan on posting my artwork within the next few weeks. I would love to read some of your poetry.

Thanks, Amanda!! i think you will really like the flickr community! My experiences here have been extraordinarily positive. Seeing peoples lives from the inside as they post photos of their daily activities, their friends, their art, etc. has made me realize again how lucky I am to be in a world that has so many wonderful people! There is more goodness than I thought!!! (and all the cool cat pictures! Sometimes i start petting the screen!!)

ehy jdyf, I had no idea... all the other times I got kidnapped by your Art and followed the visual paths you generously offer, and the hours spent this way weren't enough to read all these info. I send you a huge hug. I really trust that your talent will always provide you of what you need.
