Rodriguez Tue, 18 Jul 2006 08:13:55 +0000 http://the-beat.co.uk/corey-mesler/#comment-1234 These are the kind of interviews I enjoy reading: poet to poet communication is uplifting. And though it appears that not everyone dug the interview (let alone the fabulous talent of Mesler), I can firmly say that Mesler's works are rich and pulsating with a type life many wish they had. Perhaps certain readers flew too close to the Sun like their unfortunate offspring — and those that get burned by the Sun are sure to fade away. Keep plugging away at your craft, Mesler. You’re damn good writer! These are the kind of interviews I enjoy reading: poet to poet communication is uplifting.

I am a long time friend of Corey's and I feel that I know him and his work better now. Good job. I don't understand the comments of Dedalus. I know that my friendship with Corey may blind me a bit, but please. Yes there are "better" writers in the world (if "better" is a term that has a place in a discussion about art)but "about nothing"? "dead"? Are we reading the same thing? I don't profess to like everything that Corey writes but I always find him to be stuggling to ask questions and answer questions and wrestle with the pains and joys of existence. Is that dead? Is that about nothing? Thanks for the interview Lisa. A wonderful and insightful interveiw. I am a long time friend of Corey’s and I feel that I know him and his work better now. Good job.

I'm glad to have a little more insight into his mind. Thanks.

Abel for the comment. A truly gifted writer indeed. And of course, it's all been said before. What in literature, in art, in history hasn't been? Sans the phrase: History repeats itself. What we are doing as writers and artists, poets and musicians, is perpetuating the glory and the freedom of expression. We are handing the torch on from generation to generation. In a way, one could look at it as one great book or one painting, one song, that each artist, poet, and musician adds a part of themselves to. It's like the book of life. The song of life. Art is a celebration of life and anyone who is so pigeon-holed in their thinking as to condemn a person for writing something about their life in their own unique way is probably nothing more than a frustrated writer who doesn't have the talent, guts, or spiritual backbone to create anything worthwhile of their own. They sit in their hole of cowardliness and judgement, afraid to come out. Perhaps a remedial course in English Lit might help dedalus with his callous heart and impotent brain. Not to mention spelling and capitalization. Thank you L.W. Abel for the comment. A truly gifted writer indeed.
