| Here's a neat piece from Huffington Post about the best and worst of celebrity poetry. Of course Viggo is mentioned. - Quote :
- Best Actor nominee Viggo Mortensen takes his poetry more seriously than Sheen and Somers. He self-published Ten Last Night, his first book of poems, back in 1993 and in 2002 he even started his own poetry/art press. His writing, like his acting, is intense. Here's an excerpt from an early poem called "Embrace":
he rain is infected
with bacteria
from secret experiments
of lonely men
and women.
...with swollen
1. ed tongues.
Quietly,
they devour
each other.
Grateful
spasms,
violent motion
of interlocking,
clawing,
taunting.
Rowr! Steamy! Viggo's not so bad. And I'm happy to report that some celebrity poetry is actually pretty good.
Oh my I don't think I've ever read this poem. Wow! I could almost feel this. |
