RuralGay Artistry: Looksism
http://ruralplainsgay.blogspot.com/2012/11/looksism.html
Friday, November 2, 2012. I have been saying this exact same thing for decades. For the ninety percent of us who do not look like models, or TV and movie stars, or porn stars, this is an issue that affects self-esteem, self-confidence, and even suicide. It has a name, and that name is looksism. It's the same kind of judgment based on appearances that lies behind sissyphobia, which is hatred and fear of effeminacy in males, and ageism, which is the worship of youth and the dismissal of age and experience.

RuralGay Artistry: October 2013
http://ruralplainsgay.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 12, 2013. National Coming Out Day 2013. What can I say about coming out to my parents? Being a live-in caregiver forced me to go partway back into the closet for awhile; then I became disabled, and have been rejected continuously ever since. It's frustrating. No one wants to date the guy who almost died from a long-term chronic illness, and who is now disabled. How do you come out as a spiritual gay person when none of that applies to you? Resisting the gravitational tide of black hole ...

RuralGay Artistry: Ode to All Gay Poets
http://ruralplainsgay.blogspot.com/2015/03/ode-to-all-gay-poets.html
Wednesday, March 18, 2015. Ode to All Gay Poets. Whitman’s shopping lists, Lorca’s night blossoms,. Dennis Cooper’s tender wolves, Thom Gunn’s night sweats,. Long lines of calico princes in neon clubs dancing to diva songs,. Ginsberg’s personal ads for sex, Paul Goodman’s daily orgasms,. O’Hara’s interrupted lunches, Hemphill’s dead brothers—. The apple carts of San Francisco, relics of old Boston, freed slaves’. Children blaring blues and disco in Chicago and Detroit—. Filipino man you sucked off in the...

RuralGay Artistry: Summer Before Spring
http://ruralplainsgay.blogspot.com/2012/03/summer-before-spring.html
Monday, March 26, 2012. A prose-poem regarding unseasonably warm weather, a complaint against superficiality, and a lengthy exegesis regarding self-pleasuring, with examples). These strange hot days in March before equinox, the temps have been in the 80s during the day and the 60s at night. The hot weather makes my own sap rise. I’m horny all the time. Unfortunately, since the first surgery, I have this ostomy shitbag attached to my belly, and a big scar. Since the life-saving surgery, my strength and he...

Wednesday, March 13, 2013. A new entry in the genre of "literary personal ads" that I occasionally like to write. It's a fun way to stretch the literary muscles while having a bit of fun as well.

RuralGay Artistry: December 2011
http://ruralplainsgay.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Green Man Project 2. A sigh, a slumber. Teeth of mother nature. Posted by Art Durkee. Early November, warm day, clear skies. This feels like a photo shoot that becomes the raw material for a new series of digital artworks. Move the images into Photoshop, work with them to create mythopoetic, shamanic art, full of layers and complexities, all of it about life, death, the cycle, the turn of the Wheel of the Year. Symbol of the phallic archetype of fertility. More purely co...
