Motivated for the Cause

"Motivated for the Cause" is a double-entendre: it refers to be motivated for the cause of our existence, in a sense the spiritual quest, and it also refers to being motivated for the cause to make life great, to be in the full of art and experience. I would like to find a way through my writing to save the true spirit of poetry by what I call the anti-novel. I didn't invent the term anti-novel, but it is seldom heard. It basically means a literary form that has none of the conventions of the novel (a definition from Webster's). I think the very buzz of the word "anti-novel" would sell copies of my work and thus give poetry more of a chance of surviving than it presently has. The anti-novel can read like a novel, but it gives the ponderance of statement usually only reserved for poetry. This book is actually mostly composed of poetry, but it is poetry that has been taken out of verse form and put into paragraphs.
