I was writing a story titled \u00a0\u201cBring on the Juice\u201d to be published in a collection of stories called Peaceful Point: A Quartet of Stories. <\/em>The other three stories, \u201cA Place Called Peacful? Point,\u201d \u201cLittle Jimmy Bryce\u201d and \u201cThe Death of R&J\u201d were already finished. \u201cBring on the Juice\u201d is a story about a magazine editor based partly on my lifelong experience as a writer and editor of newspapers and magazines. I came up with the idea of having a precocious 13-year-old boy named Timothy ask the editor to teach him how to be a writer. The editor, Riley Smith, agrees to take him on as a student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now comes the part that was either a stroke of genius or a stroke of madness. I decided to have the editor give his student the following assignment: Come up with an idea for a story, propose it to me, interview everyone you need to interview, and write the story. And then I decided to have Timothy write about the poet Jack Butler and his book of poetry, Firefish, an actual, not fictitious, poet and book of poetry. The fictitious writer Timothy, in my mind, writes letters to Butler and a friend of his, another poet named Jes Simmons, also a real person. So in order to do this, I emailed Butler and Simmons and told them what I was doing (is this confusing yet?) and then I wrote letters to them as Timothy, and they answered the fake Timothy letters, and I included all of the letters in the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am pleased and proud of this, and I suspect it might be something that no other writer has ever done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the letters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First my letter to Jack Butler written as Timothy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Mr. Butler,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Timothy Johnson. I’m 13 years old. I’m taking private journalism classes from Mr. Riley Smith, editor of Juice<\/em> magazine here in Tacoma, Washington. He wants me to write about a real artist. I chose to write about you and your new book Firefish<\/em>. Poetry is art. Sadly, my article won\u2019t be for publication, but only a learning exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first question for you is why poetry? Why not write about something exciting like wars in outer space or vampires? Not that I don’t like poetry too. I read your book The Kid Who Wanted to be a Spaceman<\/em>. It was super okay. Poetry, but not highbrow and something anybody can get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you will answer this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timothy <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butler replied:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Tim–<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirteen is a great age. When I was 13, the very first satellites were going into orbit around the Earth. We didn’t have great photos of Mars or Pluto or Jupiter or Saturn back then. We had no idea what they looked like up close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love<\/em> thinking about war in outer space. I love writing<\/em> about war in outer space, and robots, and vampires on Mars. I grew up reading science fiction, early science fiction, even before there were such things as computers and moon landings and television and satellites\u2014all of which science fiction predicted a long time before people actually created them. In fact, I believe science fiction inspired the scientists who created them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you’re young, the excitement juices run through your blood a lot more often because so much of the world is brand new to you. Space war is exciting because it’s a new idea, but after a while, after you’ve seen the same old space war stories 17 or 1 thousand 3 hundred and 73 times, you don’t get excited. You yawn. You’re bored. You’ve gotten used to it, tired of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point of poetry is to keep things fresh, to see things that are truly exciting because they aren’t the same old things everybody’s talking about all the time. (If everybody’s talking about it, that’s a pretty good sign it isn’t really exciting anymore.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After reading about space war approximately 1 million 12 hundred and 47 times, I got tired of the same old stories that always did the same old things and turned out the same old way. You wouldn’t think space war could be boring, but it is if the people who write about it know a lot about technology but don’t have any fresh ideas and can’t write very well anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good poets find ways to talk about new and exciting ideas, or ways to talk about old ideas in fresh and exciting ways. But that kind of talking is not always easy to understand. It just doesn’t fit into the old familiar words. Sometimes a poet has to come up with a whole different way of talking about what he or she sees. Good poets know how to make language exciting. But to understand their exciting language, you have to have a mind that stays flexible and ready to explore. You have to love to decipher clues, to figure out what the poet’s talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing you know for sure, though: It won’t be the same old thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes we want to take it easy, we don’t want to do the work to keep our minds flexible. That’s okay, but we shouldn’t blame poets because we don’t understand. That’s like blaming somebody who can run a long way because he or she goes out there five days a week and practices<\/em> running a long way. It isn’t their fault if most people can’t run as far as they can. It’s completely okay if you don’t want<\/em> to, but it isn’t okay to blame them<\/em> because you can’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are ways to keep your mind fresh and flexible even when your body isn’t young any more. Poetry is one of the best ways of doing that. It’s mind-exercise. I still love to read about space war and to write about it, but it can’t be just the same old stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope this helps. I’ll be glad to try to answer any other questions you think of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yours, Jack Butler <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS, my children\u2019s Christmas book, Christmas on a Distant Planet<\/em> was sci-fi, and Nightshade<\/em> was about a vampire on Mars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And my letter to Jes Simmons written as Timothy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Mz Simmons,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a 13 year old journalism student. As a class assignment, I’m supposed to write an article about an artist of my choosing. The artist I’ve chosen to write about is the poet Jack Butler. I already wrote to him, and he sent back a really cool letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d like to use a quote from you about Jack and his new book Firefish<\/em>. I read your poems in Mud Flat Verse<\/em>. I love, love, love them. Especially the first one, “And Then the Sirens.” I really liked the line \u2018breath like vanilla popcorn.\u2019 It takes a real poet to come up with a line like that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also read that you are a trans lady and an activist. I love you for that cause my cousin Marty is trans too, and she\u2019s just about the sweetest lady in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please reply,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timothy Johnson<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jes Simmons wrote back to Timothy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear World,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I never knew a writer could like the same things I do and write actual poems about gyroscopes and M\u00f6bius strips and the moon and Mars and Pluto and comets, about cats, crows, dogs, dolphins, herons, lightning bugs, monkeys, praying mantises, rabbits, roosters, skunks, spiders, violets and blackberries, about cool monsters like werewolves and even zombies who are poets, and about brave superheroes like the Flash and Superman (my favorite).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Butler writes about all of this in ways that make me think hard about things that kids your age never think about or care to think about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reading Jack Butler\u2019s poems makes me feel like Superman sometimes. One of my favorites is called \u201cSuperman,\u201d and it\u2019s on page 50 of his book Firefish<\/em>. This poem makes me feel powerful and smart:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve given a gentle kick and floated up<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unstoppably, and rolled in air, and felt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The large world swings ponderous around . . .\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it makes me feel lonely like Superman, too: \u201cTwo miles up, the night was cold and silent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Except for the snapping of my cape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think maybe all poems ought to do this. Mr. Butler\u2019s poems \u201cThe Mantis\u201d and \u201cThe Rabbit on the Highway\u201d on page 125 make me so sad I could cry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am glad that Mr. Butler writes about people he loves, such as his daughter Lynnika who has a cool name and his best friend Larry who is also a poet. I also like that Jack Butler lived in a town in Mississippi called Alligator. I think it helped make him a poet. I would like to be Mr. Butler\u2019s friend and go there one day to see it with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Jack Butler and to Mud Flat Press,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jes Simmons<\/p>\n\n\n\n
