Inhaltsangabe

Pssssst! Hey, You, Yes….YOUR Generation (whichever that may be).

Are you looking for:
… Saccharin love sonnets?
… Maudlin two-line musings?
… Droning co-opted hip hop lyrics?
—You won't find that here.

Do you desire:
… Trite overbaked sentiment?
… Foolish masturbatory banter?
… Inscrutable word salad?
—You won't find that here.

What you WILL find here is an epitaph, of sorts, laced with:
… Dark humor.
… Snide observations.
… Stark realism.
… Morbid landscapes.
… Gamblers and junkies.
… Punks and thugs.

An epitaph for MY forgotten generation—Generation Jones—who:
... Relishes obscure banalities.
... Prefers pencil on paper.
... Revels in audacious irony.
... Eschews "the good old days."

It’s no longer time for any of these things.
It’s simply:
… Time for my Generation to Die.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

E.D. Evans is a lifelong poet. Having spent time in both London and New York during Punk's original heyday in the late '70s and early '80s, Evans has always comfortably floated between those two worlds. She became deeply entrenched in New York's East Village art scene that was so pervasive in the 1980s/90s, spending years performing spoken word poetry at venues such as The Nuyorican Poets Café, Brownies, and The Knitting Factory. Her Instagram handle, @originalpunkster11 says it all. "I've always liked to tell dark stories that rhyme, so hopefully my words translate into the ethos and audience for which it is intended. What a lot of young Punks today may not realize is that even back in the day, Punk was always about acceptance and inclusion. We were what we were-basically a bunch of creative misfits looking for our tribe, with a great soundtrack to boot. And when we found each other, it was a glorious thing." Evans currently features her spoken word on social media platforms, and is collaborating with an array of visual artists and musicians to bring her poetry to life. She lives in the Sonoran Desert with parrots, a blind cat, lots of backyard lizards, and a madly talented multi-instrumentalist."...And to all our spokespeople who have passed, Rest in Punk. You influenced generations to come, and I, for one, will always be grateful."
