One of the reasons I named this site Poetry by Guy Farmer is that I’ve always felt a little different from most people, like I was writing in a style that deviated from the mainstream.
I refer to my work as rare and valuable poetry because it’s not the same as much of what you read online, it comes from a different, deeper place seldom explored by others. I tend to live in the recesses many others ignore or don’t venture near.
Readers who value minimalist modern poetry understand that a few words can carry a lot of meaning; I write poems that are a framework upon which people can project their own experiences.
I had a reader in New York City say that my poetry is, “Like a landscape that unfolds as one walks through, suggesting new vistas and panoramas.”
Here are some of my rare and valuable poems:
- Like Every Other Morning
- Punishing
- The Usual
- Manifest Reality
- Race Thing
- Could
- Stain
- Unsaid Things
- Harmony
- Not Her Audience
- Numb
- Personified
- Where He Began
- Recede
- Happen Again
I’d like to thank all the wonderful people who treasure my poems and poetry book. You’re great.
