As the first published anthology of her written works, der Nackte Künstler offers a glimpse into the poetic anima of T. Leah Fehr-Thompson, as she embarks on an infinite journey of rumination, lust, bitterness and betrayal. With an eclectic collection of structurally chaotic free-verse, prose, short-form and ‘purge’ poetry, der Nackte Künstler palpably challenges the proverbial artist to recognize and acknowledge the writer as a peer of equal stature, while simultaneously and delicately delving into such ambiguous realms as immortality, literary alcoholism, Don-Juanism and cyberrelationship addiction.
A painting is an act of expression. A poem is an act of catharsis and rebirth.
It is nothing, if not our humanity, that grants us our art.
faceless / his seduction / staggering, devouring / with inconceivable hunger / my soul
Accosted with affection, we writhe in the wake of his kiss
In my soul, your whispers churning; / in my ear, your poison poured.
but I think he’s really just a demon with whom I / served time in Purgatory. I was there once / for thirteen years, you know.
if a poet dies, leaving behind a myriad of poems that are never read, does the poet cease to exist; do the words upon the pages vanish?
