Biography:
Douglas Evans, born 1945, has published one book After Reading Schopenhauer, some of which poems are included here. The rest of the poems are from Part Of My Diary and have a more modern note; all are included under one title as a poem is a chronological system of life. They are all stringed together into one sentence structure without the bits in between which have time lapses: the same as Beethoven's symphonies are all one if they could be joined together by the subconscious strata. So a sentence is a string of pictures from beginning to end; they are the life strand as we die at the end of the sentence and are born at the beginning, so the only punctuation marks are fullstop and capital: the beginning of my name Douglas to the end shall pass as I look in, deep glass.
I did not mean to go so far as to describe some of my philosophy, forgetting all pretence of he. The incidents of my life are mundane except in my poetry where I have kept myself from getting bored while I push a broom.
I am crying rescue, rescue, my Lord of Norfolk or whoever whom!
