emil foucharie Profile

Long time writer. Published poet, essayist, and columnist. Enjoy older fiction and classics. Not enamored of personal cathartic writing and the sensibilty of the modern age. Prefer politics to trendy, ethnic, gender driven pop fiction. I think writers should focus on something bigger than their own lives but also be true to their souls and art. Writing is an art: do it well and with integrity. If you'll do anything to sell your work you are no better than any other whore. I have been writing since age 11, same goals the entire time-- to be an honest man and a good writer. Thanks to James Baldwin for that.
