Smith's Networking
|
|
Publishing - Writer - Poet
|
Comments on my poetry have ranged from "intelligent, thought-provoking and beautiful" to "man, you are one sick basturd." From Jim Lang: "In poetry's whorehouse of many rooms, you belong in the philosophical-scientific wing, with us."
|
|
|
Publishing - Art - Other
|
Mixed-media assemblage philosophy:
Pick stuff up.
Glue stuff down.
Exhibit it.
Others have said of my work - "Very cornellduchampianesque." "love his contagion
of undiluted underground art."

I’ve traveled an odd and variegated journey since being born in the Rocky Mountains in the panhandle of Idaho in 1946. For example:
- I'm Lady K's friend, collaborator, companion, husband
- I've been poet 43 yrs, artist 42 yrs, editor/publisher of ArtCrimes 21 yrs, AgentOfChaos.com five yrs, Lady K’s co-blogger on WalkingThinIce.com one yr
- I've run from the cops 10 times, got away 9
- My job is to show the sheep in the sheep pen there are better ways to be
- There is but one law: do as you would be done
