Notes of a Woodcarver

If you like this, you should tweet about it:

I wanted to capture
    the work of the plow,
the movement of glaciers,
the perfect dovetailed shifts
            of the forest,
the music of rivers,
              in the grain of wood.
I wanted to read the way the land lies
        like the lines in a palm,
the history & future all tied in knots.
       As plain as the Plains.
As mysterious as we.

John T. Unger poet

I'm best known as an artist and designer. Relaxing makes me tense, so I tend to put in a lot of hours on diverse projects.

Before becoming a visual artist, I spent 15 years as a poet. I studied poetry at Interlochen Arts Academy, Naropa, Stone Circle and on the streets. I performed my work for years at Stone Circle, solo shows, poetry readings, and at Lollapalooza in 1996.

I still write poems, but only if I can make them fit the constraints ofTwitter.
