On naturalism and three  brief original poems

I am not an expert on literary Naturalism. There seems to be a tension between it being at peace and acceptance with one’s natural environment (however dreadful) and possibly being angry at religion.

It interests me now because I am trying to finish a brief novel in which the first-person narrator references two famous Naturalist playwrights.

“New Weak” by yours truly

“7,000” by yours truly

“Did you know the local elevation is almost 7,000 feet, and we have surrounding foothills too? It may be what brings people here from more flat lands. What lands!”

“Again”  by yours truly

Government again.

You’ll not win.

Sin to sin.

Begin again.

Or get punched  again with a pin.

From start to fin.
