When it comes to writing about other places, I think about Kafka's novel where the Statue of Liberty is holding a sword, and the one who wrote the introduction assumes that Kafka didn't know otherwise.
And about how James Dickey, who, like Norman Mailer, came up with theories simply to formulate something out of his ongoing mind-stuff, declaimed that works about things that people didn't experience, such as war, are often or even always better than people who experienced things firsthand. He used Stephen Crane as example.
As for me, the seasons give me an atmosphere and sense of aesthetics. I can feel as though I were actually there when Dickey made that comment, at a university in a university town, before I was born.
Also, I write whatever comes into my mind, then, spend my actual literary labor analysing my poems, as though they were written by somebody else who is already legit.
Some may find that I mar my poems with personal propaganda. I don't mind that. As my project is about shattering canonical standards, not by dismissing or attacking, but by being as strictly traditional as possible, regardless of what traditions I'm stealing from and patching together. Even to the detriment of craft and logic.
I find learning and practicing any skill extremely difficult, so I offer myself to Dionysos, and perform dithyrambically. I find it difficult to understand anything, and am blessed by the traditional notion that there is nothing to understand.
