Simple Little Things: 365: Volumes 1-12

Casting alms to moths swirling confused in a parking lot oasis of midnight light. A funerals climax as a balloon buoyed body sails among indifferent clouds. Broken man conjuring companionship through a snow angel. Country boy waking coy before daybreak. Mantras to applesauce. Self-defenestrationists. Paint swatches inspired by cannibalism. Anne Frank. Wounds. Celebrations. Sometimes our booted feet navigate a hard trail to some distant southern star. Sometimes bare, they knead barefoot the soft carpet of home. Often, they walk in time to the heart, beating poems into the earth to be read again in another generation. Day by day, October 2011 to October 2012, Simple Little Things is a poetic journey of self-exploration, the omnibus of James Aaron Tecumseh Sinclair's '365' series. It mixes a myriad of forms, Free Verse, Cinquain, Haiku, Rondeau, Tanka, Found Poems, Chance Operations, The Bop, and more, to reveal a poet at once comfortable and terrified with himself.
