the Silent Man
    #18873461 - 09/21/13 07:18 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

the silent man is the name of a short book i created during my travels this summer (a zine, for those in the DIY scene)
i printed out a first run, and am planning on a second one soon--but i also turned it into an online version recently--perhaps the shroomery will be interested in reading

it's basically a polished non-fiction account of how i travelled from Toronto, Ontario to Dawson City, Yukon this spring--it also features a few poems and drawings of mine

http://www.scribd.com/doc/169930501/The-Silent-Man

ideally, i will be making many more zines on a wide variety of topics--the process is incredibly fun--hopefully you all enjoy, because there's more in the works!

Your format (is that the right aspect?) is absolutely charming! It has DIY charm, but looks very deliberate and professional.

I can't read the whole thing, now at least, but I read one of your poems and I've never seen that rhyme structure before... Very neat!

(by that I mean, rhymes:
A
A
A
B

B
B
B
C

C
C
C
C  (which I presume would be D if there were a next stanza)
)

What is this called? Is there a particular meter associated with this or anything, or is this a kind of poem like a Haiku is a kind of poem?

i was actually trying to copy the rhyming scheme from 'stopping by woods on a snowy evening' by robert frost--its scheme goes aaba, bbcb, ccdc, dddd--but as work progressed with the poem, my alternate rhyming scheme made itself apparent and brought me to where i ended up

thanks for the encouraging words though--it is a labour of love created during my time spent living in various woodsquats around dawson city--so it definitely is a combination of deliberate professionalism with DIY techniques

It's bad form, or at least is frowned upon by some, to bump your own thread on purpose, especially multiple times...


I'll take it from here :wink: :cool:



AKA bumpitybumpbumpbump. Why don't you put a link in your sig?
