“Igor’s “Illuminated Book” is like a new genre.  It is a wonderful ekphrastic expression; a fusion of the arts.” — Poet Mel Takahara “His collection Is She Available? has the feel of an artifact from the near future – a seminal work of a new genre-fusing poetry, graphic art, music, and animation.” —(San Diego’s) City Beat “Is SHE Available?” is an experiment, and reading it feels more like an act…

Meandering reflection on the nature of expanded consciousness and psychedelics. my experience in my early use of psychedelics was that my arrival to the infinite moment at the true core of ‘normal’ reality is that the experience of the fact of eternity made it (nearly), impossible to reintegrate myself into this new insight and wisdom with the rest of my life. I could not deny the truth of my…

I like this poem, so I’m posting it again hoping it might attract some nearby friendly she-wolf, howling at the same moon! Poised on the end of the couch hugging a pillow,She crouches in the center of her den.The She Wolf laughs and shows me her teethJust in case I hadn’t previously noticed them,When I first walked into her space… Seeking shelter from my private stormsof deadly sunshine and…

This is what I do : Speculative Realism

I think what I’m currently writing is new.It’s making classical or formal poetry conform to modern rhythms and structures. I call the umbrella genre for both my prose, poetry and non fiction. Speculative Realism after the French Philosophical post Idealist school of thinking. The bastard child of Magic Realism and Speculative Fiction, if SF asks the question “What if?” Speculative Realism asks…

My sad conclusion drawn from a lifetime of pacifism crashing on the shore of the present day political reality.

FROM ANOTHER THREAD, Not happy to reach this logical conclusion as a lifelong pacifist. However, in some way, the non violence argument is facetious and self-deluding. Throughout history, non violent protestors do not eliminate violence. Those who refuse to exercise violence invite violence upon themselves by the adversaries of justice. Ghandi’s Salt Protests, Kent State, Chicago ‘68, the…

There is nothing I can rent, buy, or lay away that matches the genuine human connection art brings!

Question (From Jim Means, a professor friend of mine I’ve known since High School): Paul Erdős–the most prolific mathematician of the 20th century, lived such a nomadic lifestyle. He would wander from continent to continent, knocking on the doors of other mathematicians and announce “My brain is open!” with the hope that they would invite him into stay in their home for weeks or months. Most…

An incantation for Allen Ginsberg The moon before the Ginsberg morning.Negro skies before a christian dawnMy voice itches for cigarettes and Tibetan hymns.I want the circuit of Blake, Whitman, Ginsberg and DylanTo course through my limbs Electrocuting my fears and lame desires for acceptance.I want to feel holier than a cantorOr a Muslim call to prayer.I want fuzzy peaches where my balls areAnd…

QUESTION: “Igor, Why are you smoking and drinking your self to death? Smoking, if you don’t inhale cigars, can still give you bladder cancer.

Ell, for one thing, I don’t have…
