Sonnets From The Mountaintop Quotes

“Forget the canon, you can't even make sense of my titles, bleating like nationalist livestock, and chanting like brainless bacon - you have to have a certain amount of multicultural tendency, which in a way, is your first test of pilgrimage, moreover, it's the key to the Naskar Canon. If you have no desire to step outside your culture, there's no point in grabbing any of my text, you might as well pick up a chinese or arab text, and expect to be an expert while speaking only English.”

“Sonnet 2500 You're right, I am not a poet, I have not written hundreds of poems; you're right, I am not a writer, I have not written a couple of books. I'm sorry, I am not a poet, I have not written hundreds of sonnets, I have written thousands - I have not written a handful of books, I have erected a library. You do not have the scales in your two-dimensional intellect to measure the multidimensional Ecosystem of Expansion - larger than tribe, larger than time, I am Detonation of The First Multicultural Civilization.”

“Pilgrimage to Plurality (Sonnet 2499) Forget the canon, you can't even make sense of my titles, bleating like nationalist livestock, and chanting like brainless bacon - you have to have a certain amount of multicultural tendency, which in a way, is your first test of pilgrimage, moreover, it's the key to the Naskar Canon. If you have no desire to step outside your culture, there's no point in grabbing any of my text, you might as well pick up a chinese or arab text, and expect to be an expert while speaking only English. My script may be English, my language is not - remove your assumptions, transcend your disciplines; it is only through pilgrimage to plurality, that an ape ascends into humanity. My goal is not to replace white supremacy with colored supremacy, or christian supremacy with muslim supremacy, or blind faith with dispassionate logic, I am a stateless weaver of human plurality.”
