Veggie Head Stalker Explained-- Sorta
Jun 28, 2009 at 07:41AM
I realize that most people simply don't get The Adventurers Of The Vegetable Stalker. You see, parody-- even great parody-- escapes the grasp of most people. And while I don't claim to pen great parody the Adventurers of The Vegetable Stalker are parody no matter how poorly written.
Like everything in poetry, Veggie's adventures are in-fact, an experiment. Great poets experiment with every line they write. And those of us who dream of someday rising to levels of poetic greatness must experiment and reinvent the art of writing poetry in every verse we pen if we are to continue to grow as poets. The same holds true in every form of art. In art, just like in science, most experiments fail. And that's okay.
So what are Veggie's adventurers a parody of? The Veggisodes parody vegetarians, growers and producers of Genetically Modified Foods. the Bush Administration, the War on Terror, my life and my own efforts to promote myself as a writer. Have no doubt the Obama Administration will be parodied in Volume 2. They parody life itself and our efforts to remove ourselves from the artificial mono-culture that is slowly but steadily is taking over all of society.
If you'd like to see an experiment unfold you can tune into The Adventurers of The Vegetable Stalker at VegetableStalker.com. Make sure you read the preface and remember the Veggisodes are only excerpts from the manuscripts I someday hope to send to print.
