A.L. Locke lives in a cabin in North Carolina’s Appalachian Mountains. He shares his life with his wife, Tara, and their 10 rambunctious dogs, two goats, too many chickens, and aquarium fish. He has been published both in national and international publications, including Writer’s Digest and various literary journals. Notes from the Night Desk is a column he works on vigorously and tries to publish daily on https://lelandlocke.blog/. He also has a book series under the same title available on Amazon. More volumes of published and previously unpublished work will appear in the future.

Mr. Locke incorporates the Gonzo way of Life into his everyday responsibilities and tomfoolery. From the concrete-jungle swamps of Texas, the high Rocky Mountains of Montana, to living homeless on the cruel and crippled streets of Youngstown, Ohio, A.L. Locke has kept up writing in haunted notebooks, typed-up the words on pages fed into the mouths of typewriters, and exquisitely pecked electronic aphorisms and anagrams into various computers.

Thou to be?

Obstructing, denouncing, dying, impoverished or evil?
Hiding oneself and suffering.

The Moon?
Brilliant and illuminating …
raise one’s clear and unequivocal voice.

Vacuous, fraudulent or devoid of sense?
A coffin.

The optimal potential in each emerging moment?
Only light …
it really is extraordinary, sublime and mindful.

Secrecy, mystery and being obstruse?
A shadow –
an echo for the purpose of
reaching and extending evil …
places turbulent, drastic and irritating.

Growing, beginning, preparing or causing
genuine emotion, love and reason?
Affecting, responsive, perceptive and grateful –
institutions to love deeply and rely upon …
bewitching, infatuating and charming.

We really compete to invite or to ask thou
to become immersed in existence and living.

The Moon?
Real.

The universe?
Glory and honour –
moderate, apt, successful and heartfelt –
approaching existence and living.

The Moon?
Certainly various aspects braiding, knitting or weaving thou.

The target?
The wizardry known as “worthy creativity.”
