Imagery Poetry
Experimental poetry for images and events of our age.
The Story of Bus Stop Poetry, LLC
I, Mark M Pierzchala, am the creator and sole owner of Bus Stop Poetry, LLC. I am an emerging poet, a senior. I seek to experiment with new poetic forms made possible by modern technology.
Experimental poetry combines my original verse with existing or published texts, images, sounds, and/or video as relates to the modern age. At first, I use my own pictures or my own drawings.
The first experimental form is with images such as photographs or drawings. I call this imagery poetry.
The name of the company comes from my first work called "At 22nd and Penn". This has more to do with the messages posted on the bus stop than the bus stop itself. See the General Interest section.
