Poetry and Prose

My most natural language is gesture, movement, music and art but my most natural verbal poetry, that world between words and music where the two dance together on the page.language is  It was this language of indirectness, this speaking in 'poetry', that emerged in mid to late childhood and developed alongside 'standard language' later on.  

I'm told I use words like an elastic band, and coming from a background where I largely lacked 'functional language' till late childhood (I could sing, recite advertisements and jingles, regurgitate TV scripts from sit-coms and had 'my own language') I feel this served me well to make me an eccentric writer and one who uses words like Pollock and Klimt use paint.

Donna's first book of poetry and prose, Not Just Anything, received wide accolades and was followed by a second book of poetry, art and surrealism called Weirdos Like Me.
