July 28 – Love, Cymbology, and Hinge poetry by Heller Levinson
From the Jivin’ Ladybug, Heller Levinson describes Hinge Theory in No Rust on These Hinges!!: Heller Levinson & Hinge Theory. In describing Hinge he says:
It’s not what it Is, but how it Behaves.
It is dense reading but interesting as a new direction in poetry, writing, art, and in broader applications. What I find interesting is that each writing builds on another, forming an interconnectedness, for the purpose of connecting thought, feeling, and expression. Is Hinge art reaching for the Divine? Levinson even mentions the Logos in the interview. It is said that art is the sage for the coming age. Perhaps art is showing us a movement from expression alone to expression with a purpose beyond itself, something we become part of, that includes us as more than admirers but as participants.
Here is Mr. Levinson reading samples of his Hinge poetry from his book “Smelling Mary” from Howling Dog Press.
