Welcome ladies, gentlemen, boys, girls and creatures of the Universe! My name is Cyrus Issac and this is my humble spot in the seemingly endless cyberworld of what we call the ‘Internet’....... I am an aspiring tortured poet of the post-modern British generation, composing my verses by the old fashioned methodology of a pen and paper- now that’s antiquated in the virtual paperless digital age........ My roots lie in the crashing wonder of Coleridge and Byron, the beauty of Blake and the prosaic killing-fields of Auden, with a note of admiration to Wordsworth, Kipling (the genius), Yeats & of course the brilliant Poe......... I reside in middling England and a busy entertainment agent by profession. By day I represent entertainers and by night I transform into the poetic being and ply the world of meaning........ My poetry is I guess a hallmark of the contemporary times; I am like yourself a child of culture forever bombarded every day by the blight of streaming information, some edited by the censors of ‘taste and decency’ and much else thrown in your face without a matter of thought. It is to this world that we simpletons have to understand the reality and functioning of every day life- yes it is very complicated......... I have composed or should I say written three completed collective works of poetry: ‘Dark Night of the Soul’, ‘Computoid’ & ‘Rootless Exe’. Dark Night of the Soul was my first collective work written whilst at University and deals with the angsts and uncertainties of youth, notions of powerlessness and the immaturity of guidance, plus some other interesting facets of life....... Computoid I think is a far more serious collective work which deals with the complexities and realities of a computer age and how it affects the ‘digital citizen’. I made up a word ‘Computoid’ to encapsulate and describe the ‘digital computer people’ (i,e. ourselves), which greatly assisted me in the poetic narrative. I believe that the computer age should be seen as a very significant stage of human development, especially regarding the evolution of human culture........ Rootless Exe My third collective work follows in the wake of ‘Computoid’ and explores further the evolution of present and future societies, particularly in regards to cultural identity, the impact of modern industrial alienation and atomisation; as well as the search for identity, state surveillance, paranoia, new forms of tyranny, racialism, terrorism and the ongoing onslaught of the new technological electro-biological machine revolution............ Visions of Things to Come: Look out in 2008 for my next collection of poetry which shall be entitled ‘Visions of Things to Come’. In this work I hope to explore the frontiers of the mind within and without, including dream perceptions (my own and others), as well as the ongoing revolutionary influence of the machine, biological identity and predictions of future possibilities to come................ |
