‘I, the Poet’ by Leonard Gorski is a thought-provoking and multi-layered free-verse poem that explores themes of identity, mortality, and the search for meaning in an often confusing and uncertain world.
Leonard Gorski is a relatively unknown poet whose work is known for its complexity, unique images, and at times, ambiguity. The poet is interested in exploring religious themes, the quest for meaning in life, and inevitable change over one's lifetime. His work usually engages with these themes through a modern, free-verse style of poetry that perfectly fits his elaborate take on everyday life. Readers will likely find themselves easily connecting to his depiction of a life-long search for meaning in 'I, the Poet' and challenged by his unusual use of language.
I, the poet, wandering and amazed
Nailed by unhappiness to the wall
By age and poverty,
On which floor of stupidity or ignorance I dwell?
