Branch Isole, The Voyeuristic Poet

Let’s be honest. Many people think of poetry as staid and archaic, out-of-touch ‘classic romanticism’ or worse, irrelevant wanderlust from bygone eras. They often shy away from the genre because of its presumed presentation of unfamiliar vocabulary and usage, which anticipates a clouded understanding of the story buried beneath.

Desiring our information be concise and to the point, we engage multiple technologies and platforms designed to deliver in sound byte portions. We live in a world of hurried time allotments and short attention spans. And yet as readers we still crave a roller coaster ride of emotions we can identify with. We still wrestle with issues that affect us personally. And we still love a good story. Poetic Prose is the perfect vehicle to accomplish all these coalescing needs.

My name is Branch Isole. I am the ‘Voyeuristic Poet’.

Now before you roll your eyes, I am a story teller who looks at or views (voyeurs) the motivations of our world, clothed and bare. You’ll find my pieces are character driven short stories, which reveal universal issues and emotions contemporary adults often experience but don’t always voice.

My ‘Voyeurism Poetry’ is more a whisper than a shout cutting across boundaries as it looks at reflection and insight, rather than in-your-face rants about perceived social injustice or racial persecution.

This is poetry “in a brown paper bag.”

Good story telling never loses its place and poetry is enjoying a ground swell of renewed interest with expanding growth potential. The avant-garde expressions initiated by ‘Beat (nik) Poets’ of the mid -nineteenth century are enjoying a renaissance and resurgence. Once relegated to English fine arts programs, local book clubs and lonely space on library shelves; the face, form and function of poetic prose is changing.

Nothing stays the same in a dynamic arena and the pendulum swings with every endeavor in the arts and literature. This is your invitation to experience one of the movements about to take place in American Poetry; biographical poetic prose.

Welcome. This is Voyeurism Poetry.
