The Pursuit of Exstasis

Filed under: Thoughts — Daniel Milbo @ 8:00 am

I have been pondering the fact that the theme of my last poem seems to have, perhaps subconsciously, crept up repeatedly in my latest writings.  Exstasis - the standing outside normal perception of reality - is on some level my goal in writing.  I use poetry as a portal to an existential state of mind - to see the bigger picture.  My hope is that it would be an opportunity for any reader to move beyond.

But is it an escape from reality?  Am I dissatisfied with normal perception?

My conscious intent was to develop the theme of ‘moment’ as a slice of time in one’s life that is significant.  But cannot the most ordinary of moments be significant?
