Van Gogh Eternity’s Gate
Forgetting is not in the poet the painter, the artist. We are not psychopaths, murderers, walking away with bloody hands from so many familiar bodies. We are the nerves of the universe throbbing with something real. We are Van Gogh’s old man in the chair-- elbows on his knees, hands blinding the present mind racing towards the past. Joshua Dean Joshua Dean, who goes by Dean, is a second-year MFA student attending Georgia College and State University. He has a French background and an indisputable attraction to Romantic literature which has influenced his poems. The South serves as his poetic landscape, as much as he wants it to or not. He has grown to appreciate the South and writes odes to it, despite the racial tensions and poor political policies of that geographical area. Dean's poetry has appeared in the River Heron Review.
