Stream Of Consciousness

[Pete Marchesi]

Something to discuss. I use it to a great extent. I hope... with success.

I am reminded of Sylvia Plath's friend, Viginia Woolfe. She wrote a book called Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolfe. The poetry had a way of
slipping in. A great book. Does anyone know about Stream Of Consciousness writing? I really think there should be more of it. It is a great way to release emotions. And.. is a careful way to make sense in an exploratory way.

There was a movie with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. My favorite... is Sylvia Plath. And Guiseppe Ungaretti.

I like Sylvia Plath. She is a meaningful person. She had a very hard life.

Can anyone add to this?

What is stream of consciousness writing, I'm not familiar with it? I have heard of Virginia Woolf though.

It is pretty simple. You write down what comes to mind. What I do is turn on... It comes out well.

You can do it in poetry or prose. It is essentially a poetic form.

The results will floor you. You feel your emotions... and find relief.

You can do really good things.

Life is unusual. I sit at a bus stop. Stories go through my head. It opens my mind. But nothing goes in. It is a troubled feeling that I feel. That the bus stops at all. There is the sound of an ambulance. What is going wrong. But nobody speaks. It is like people are not frightened. But I know what is going on.

That is stream of consciousness writing. I have been doing it all my life.

Wolfe is much better at it than I can be. It is my speciality. It is basically poetry with no rules. It must however have a sense of humanity to it.

Oh, I see, that's very interesting. Unfortunately I'm not much of a poet, but I might give it a try.

That's very good! I'll have to check out the writing of Virginia Woolfe.

Seeing this post, I remember 'Mrs. Dalloway' by Virginia Woolf.
