Derrick Fludd 1963- has been writing poetry since his early teens his poetic interest began by studying poets such as Rilke, Yeats, Wadsworth, Plath, Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Dickenson and others. Mr. Fludd poetic works strive to encompass moments that define life's experiences, aiming to achieve this by drawing relationships between the interior experience we live with and the reality we share. His work Souvenir (Remember) 1986 starts by recalling an existence before birth, documenting by observation the knowledge one gathers. Exploring the moralistic dualisms we live by trying to become more than what we are. The prose style is graceful and unique creating rhythms upon rhythms in a whirlwind of imagery and concepts. By profession Mr. Fludd was schooled as a fine artist and lives and works in New York City.
