All primal poetry begins somewhere outside the limits of acceptable human behavior. All primal poetry begins in ecstasy or in violence or in knowledge of blood and death. All primal poetry emerges from the caves and the weeds and the canyons and the rivers. All primal poetry is by its very nature Outlaw Poetry because it evokes all of those feelings that most of us spend so much time avoiding or masking or denying. All primal poetry which is also absolutely Outlaw poetry is the stuff of grave trash, treasure, passion, and dreams. All primal poetry is lightninged back into itself and because it is filled with so much electricity it is deflected back into the world as the printed word. But, if you know anything about poetry at all, you know the primal stuff, the Outlaw stuff is so hot it could burn your hands off at the slightest touch.
