Have you ever heard of Nonism? I only read about it just a couple of months ago. The Nonist Manifesto by Dr Charles Mintern is dated September 2, 1996. I take the liberty of advertising part of its message and advising young poets and writers to learn more about it. Personally I don’t like labels, and I keep well away from schools and movements, but in the Nonist Manifesto there is some really fresh food for thought. I would only like to mention two valuable principles: the ideas of placelessness and absence of gravity, which, I think, are well worth studying and absorbing.
