The logo was designed by Charles
Luckman & Associates for the civic plaza of Phoenix, Arizona. The
creator of this logo deserves credit for its brilliant design. The black
portrays the bird, and the white portrays an embryo. If the artist
should happen to run across this site, please contact me.
This logo is now a part of the
copyright of the PHOENIX literary work. This image was retired to make
way for a new life, and with permission of the City of Phoenix, rose from its ashes to serve a'new, the body
of literary opus here. |

by Dale J. Sprague
Preface
As literary art by a subjective
artist, this Phoenix opus is not created for public entertainment, but
rather to sustain salient architecture, thoughts, emotions, feelings, knowledge,
gnosis, senses
and sensibilities of my luminous body, which serves also as introduction
of myself and greeting to my luminous neighbors. I am compelled by
necessity to
create this tome as an avocation..for unknown reasons.

| Publication
|
Phoenix has not been printed by a
publisher as a whole. Op.15 "Apocalypsis" was printed in book form with
photos (entitled "Apocalypse," J.Hwong Publishing, 1980). Some of the shorter opus compositions (The Original
Peace and Firmament of Illusion) were
published as fanfold broadsides in Seattle, Washington (1979).
Excerpts of Phoenix were published in various anthologies from 1982 to
present. Numerous awards, but the most notable for me was 2nd place for Op. 8
"Dear Conscience" from the Ashland Poetry Society, Ashland,
Oregon, Aug 1984. Some Phoenix excerpts published were solicited by Famous
Poets Press, 2006, "Great Poems of the Western World," Dark
Heart; Noble House International, 2008, "Favorite Memories,"
Fludder the Tree Feeder. Primary outlet for Phoenix is the Phoenix
website (1995). |
| Work in Progress
|
In addition to new projects, all of Phoenix
is a work in
progress; there is always improvement to make, even if only by one horse
hair, but only by one who has
become more skilled and emotionally evolved. |
