Featured Art: Poetry

Featured Artist: A.E. Unaterra

Albert Emerson Unaterra has been writing for almost as long as he can  remember. He's tried technical and marketing writing, essays, songs, novels, play scripts, and poetry. We're featuring some of his poems that witness a world vision.

A.E. was born in Camilla, Georgia (USA) and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. He spent over eight years of his young adulthood living in France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Sweden. These years did not shape him so much as confirm to him what he had believed to be true. He currently makes his home in Tallahassee, Florida.

A.E.'s writing influences include such diverse influences as the American Transcendentalists, William Faulkner, the poet T.S. Eliot, and many great Continental writers, such as Goethe, Bergson, Breton, Hesse, Tolstoy, Camus, and Sartre.

He's also been greatly influenced by visual artists, including Escher, Magritte, and Dali, and pop music stars such as Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and George Harrison, and metaphysical rock such as Genesis, Pink Floyd, and U2.

A.E.'s literary writing includes The Hot Moon (1978, poetry & short fiction), Glass Beads (1980, personal reflections), Veins of Blood and Gold (1983, poetry), The Long Weekend (1984, unpublished novel), Windows Without Glass (1985, unpublished poetry),  My Spaceship Earth (2001, web site), as well as some 50 recorded but unpublished pop songs.

A.E.'s best writing involves nature, discovery of the present moment, and man's heritage of  modern thought, culture, and myth.
