Well I often take out Michael's poetry book to read and some of my friends look at me askance. In 2000 Michael was thrilled when his pal Dennis Hopper agreed to write the foreward to his new book of poetry-becauce for years the actor has been Michael's biggest fan. Michael introduced Dennis to his poetry and short stories when the two actors were appearing in "Blood Red" and was stunned to discover Dennis liked what he read. He says,"I had a couple of books of short stories that were independently published that Dennis read and let me know how much he thought of them. "So when I finished "Burning in Paradise" I asked Dennis if he'd be interested in writing a foreward and he said yeah. "I respect his opinion on poetry. Dennis has been around a long time and he's a true artist. I was very grateful that he wanted to contribute to my book. "the book has already been acclaimed in America-it recently won Independent Book Publisher's Firecracker Poetry Book of the Year.

Michael never planned on writing a book. I wrote down a lot of things,mostly on scraps of paper matchbooks and napkins. A lot were things I wrote during dark times of my life and there were thingsI wrote during happy times in my life. For one reason or another i saved it all. When I looked back and started reading some of it there were things I wrote that I was really surprised that I'd remembered and that reflected a certain time of my life and that meant something to me. I thought that it might be interesting to at least put it out there. Supposedly I'm an artist,after all,right. I think it's not for everybody,that's for sure. It's certainly not for children. My poetry in some ways, sums me up pretty accurately in lots of ways but it only represents what I may have been thinking at that time,when I wrote whatever I wrote. Whatever might have been in my head at that particular moment. I think people are far too complex to say,you know,that this movie or this book or that thing is the things that tells who this person is and what they're about. It's very personal,put it that way.

signs of life, elena or one of the older ones? ----------------------------------------------------------- I did not yet decide, I did not know while... I will be to proceed from the sum of money, I will have. Signs of Life - it is book of pictures? «One million tears over 35 years» - what book is it in? In general, I would like to purchase all of books of Michael. But if I will not have an enough money, I must will be choose.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ i have to get into contact with amazon before the 30th because if the book comes out they will charge me $9.48 just for shipping... because they changed the order because of a price drop but forgot to change that i had a free upgrade on shipping because of them not telling me the last time about the date changes... i tried emailing them again but it won't let me... so i have to wait till i will be at home and let them call me now ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I did not understand it.  With your permission, I will show it my friend, possibly it will translate me it. Then I will answer you.  |

elena signs of life will be pictures that were take by michael while he traveled and new poems - not sure if michael will actually be pictured a lot in it? - i recommend getting the complete works of michael madsen vol. 1 1995-2005 as it is all of his books plus new stuff... the only thing that would not be in it would be the new stuff coming out in signs of life. Thank you for information. I think i do so. I will purchase the complete works of michael madsen vol. 1 1995-2005 and signs of life. |
