    Writings from Street People Series

    By Michael A. Susko

    ()

    About this series

    In this work Street Images, we are struck by the passion of the persons who speak through a variety of their lived experiences. One poet, who titles his or her poem, Anonymous, says:

     

                  So do not ask

                  Why we pass unknown...

                   It is enough that we blaze....

     

    These work are from many who have been  "On the Street" and "Behind Closed Doors." There's real pain, real joy, real triumph and real defeat in these writings. Such persons, who have extreme experiences, are driven to share them, whatever beauty, meaning, or lessons that can bring. So we invite you to join in their poetic passion, to immerse yourselves and feel the blaze that is within each of us.

      Those on the periphery of society are not necessarily culturally or spiritually poor. "Street persons" can harbor a rich life-story and genuine philosophic concerns. This work seeks to make public this hidden cultural wealth. We invited persons with hardship to create fiction or, in recounting an experience, to offer an image of hope. From Clem who writes The humorous "My Little Spot," as he recovers from frost bite in the hospital,"  to Theodora who describes her manic flights in "Olympus" there is real genuine human experience to be found in these pages   The persons in this anthology are also prophets in their own way, unheralded and un-noticed. But if we listen, we can sense their fire, hear their message.  We can marvel too how in these covid-19 times, a poet could foresee write from years ago a poem titled  "Apocalypse." with the words:   While the sun goddess weeps her last song The plague has begun People in plastic bags heading toward the city dump. I lock myself in my room   There's something evergreen about these poets and writers. Their message does not die with a given time. We need only to listen from persons who  have nothing to profit or gain from our listening. Only we stand to benefit, when we hear the resonance within our souls. So I invite you to enter into a time capsule, an eternity – where voices otherwise lost can now be heard.
