I had a quick look at your channel. I don't agree with all of the views you are expressing, but that does not matter. What I see is someone engaging, researching and thinking. For this you have my praise.
I offer a few words of advice. Use references in a structured manner (obviously not required for your own poetry). If you continue publishing, these form a body of reference material and is searchable based on the your substack sub-domain. Also, retain a digital copy of your work (you can download your own site's archive; do it).
I hope that the articles, notes or musical suggestions I offer are thought provoking; that they meld with your journey of discovery.
Hi Yesxorno, and Thanks, both for looking and the advice, I'll take any advice where I can get it so don't hold back. I don't agree with everything I say either. I wasn't sure what you meant by usiing references in a structured manner?
A reference for a viewer is just a link to some page. For an academic, a reference is to a specific article in a journal at some time with a title by some authors.
I try to merge these. The advice is to choose whichever plan you wish and stick with it. The advice I received resulted in my reference style seen under the "Sources" section:
[title], [persons], [publication], [date]
The link is melded with the [title].
Sometimes [persons] are unknown like "staff writers" or who knows, like wikipedia. Sometimes [date] is also unknown. Dammit. But, my plan is to complete this schema to reliably deliver structured references to my audience. My point, is that it also creates an archive over time.
Your work is not a page, or even a book. It is a library. Libraries need structure to be accessed. Create a little structure.
I'll take that advice on board. I have been going through a barren spell of inspiration lately, so I've not published for a while. I only publish if a poem comes to me or if I can offer a thought or opinionthat feels original. Hopefully something will come toe soon. I'll keep your advice in mind for when the moment comes.
I like caitlin too. She's bang on the money.

Good luck, have fun, live.

One's subconcious delivers at unexpected moments. I hope you have the peace to embrace them when they arrive.
I wish you creativity and resolve.
