In fact, in all of my books, I include a page with a boilerplate that has my name & immediately below it these three words: Where do I get the term “inkslinger” from? It’s been part of a slogan I’ve used for years. Because, in my lifetime, I’m on a mission to turn amateurs into more interesting, engaging & talented poets. I only mention the book – my manifesto – as I see my new blog, The Inkslinger, as a continuation of those efforts. I talk about how a poem is a two-way experience between it’s author & the reader. In the book, I get into the psychological power of a poem & how it quickly bypasses the conscious mind. I’ve always been a tinkerer, he begins, and explains how his father, a jazz musician, cut off his. One of my favorite interviews of his didn’t run in Rolling Stone or Guitar World, but Popular Mechanics.

When I set out to write A Poet’s Manifesto, I wanted to offer aspiring poets with a no-BS, no-fluff resource on writing poetry. May ambition continue to spark ideas, plots & story lines in their active minds. I applaud writers everywhere & wish each one the best of luck in their careers. This is amazing, as it’s one of the first times in history, where writers can share their writings without a barrier (e.g., publisher, editor, media company). With no editor standing between these poets & their followers. Truthfully, many of the posts from “Insta poets” are little more than a regular status message non-writers would post on Facebook. Everyone thinks they are a poet these days & instantly publish their latest poem or epigram on social media platforms like Instagram & Tumblr. If I’m honest, which I am, I must tell you: there is a lot of crap writing out there. However, I want to contribute to the writing community & add value to the careers & lives of other writers. I’ve started this blog on Medium to address the growing amateur poetry scene on Instagram & elsewhere on the interwebs, while offering up my best practices & writing tips.įor many years I’ve maintained a website, which is almost an identical reproduction of my posts on Instagram. I’m Alexander Bentley & I’m a published author, poet & avid Edgar Allan Poe fan.
