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.

“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.
