Anew No Poetry For U: The Real Outside

Much of the original format of this small, dessicated sack of Internet consisted of a stringing of interesting articles, poems, images, and flicks that I encountered or wanted to store in hard memory--what I really want to do is write a more formal organum based on my former material, mainly a collection of odds (with no ends) in the world of outsider art, literature, and experience with some of my commentary. That is, my main interest encompasses people who are creating interesting material even though they are outside the margins of art or society. These include: ()the mentally ill, the ()cognitively different, ()convicts and prisoners, ()folk or naive artist, and to a smaller degree the ()politically shunned (feminists, eco-activists, etc): including artists who were inspired by the works and ideas of outsiders (de-focusing painting, since it is so widespread).

I will slowly and methodically extinct the former material which does not mesh once this white corner of Internet mulch is replaced by a more harmonic repertoire of nick-knacks, a collection of jars.

Consider this "Under Construction" noisy, obstructive, and soon to be polished.

The best way to navigate through this material is to select a topic or tag and view the elements contained within. You can also relax and simply click on the "next" button at the end of the featured post.

Outsider Insider : Aloise Corbaz (1955)

Aloise Corbaz was diagnosed with schizophrenia and symbolized much of her vibrant thoughts of erotic love and historical romance (her forbidden love for German emperor Wilhem II, for instance) within her tightly packed and colorful drawings. Dubufett, who collected her work, tells us "She cured herself by the process which consists in ceasing to fight the illness and undertaking the contrary to cultivate it, to turn it into an exciting reason for living."


She claims that her female figures wear dark glasses because "They were embarrassed when it comes to kissing, so they wear glasses."

Here are some of her writings from Ubuweb, although they have a highly disappointing collection of outsider work. Outsider poetry is hard enough to find on the Internet and I have devoted much of my time to its collection. If you have any collected poems or writings by outsider artists (known or unknown), please let me know (you shall find a way).
