A good dose of Guzman in the morning always seems to jolt my creative spirit. I love every piece you put out man. Also, great chalk work by the way.!

Nicely done man! Love your ability to use different mediums and even combine them. I definitely see the Hemingway (and Cormac) influence in your work.

You keep writing poems like these and you might eventually get me into poetry one of these days…

Your chalk drawing with the audio poem describing the process gives a very present tense multi-sensory experience. I do love the sound of chalk. Nice inclusion.

Lovely to hear your voice!

Thank you :) I'm glad the effort was worth it. The process is mostly what I wanted to show, explain. I felt a poem would be the extension of the expression on the board.

It definitely came through. That's what it felt like to me.

I love the context as much as the poem :)

Ricardo Guzman Jr's avatar

Thank you. I like when poems stand on their own, but I didn’t want to leave out the context this time. I think it benefits from it. Appreciate you!
