Q: Why "amandamadhat"?
A: In "Alice in Wonderland" the Cheshire cat actually symbolizes the voice of the people, and the Hatter (I personally believe) represents the madness found in struggles for the division of power, I like to think that poetry gives emotions a voice of sorts in the struggle for over the power for self enlightenment. Hence, my name.
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
Q: Do you have -insert online communication other then AIM here-?
A: Yep. I have Skype and MSN as well as an active email address, if you want these for any reason feel free to drop me a note.
Q: Is there any way I could commission you?
A: This is all up in the air right now, but I have had some of you viewers asking about prints or pieces for personal use, as of right now I do not grant ANYONE permission to post my poetry elsewhere unless proper credit is given and I am first notified. If there are any questionable postings out and about, please give me a heads up.
Q: How do "art trades" work with literature pieces?
A: Writing is an art form like everything else, it takes practice and creativity. Someone wrote the lyrics to the songs you enjoy, your favorite novel, that witty remark on your t-shirt, the screenplay for the film you adore, the scripts the actors rehearse, the slogans for marketing campaigns, the president's speeches. . .simply put, writing is a skill. It is something that takes practice and poise for appeal. It should be treated as such, give me a prompt, a character motivation and I will do the best I can for you.
Q: ...for someone who writes poetry and prose you don't have a lot of writer oriented favorites...?
A: I appreciate all art forms, but since I do not have the skill to draw, take photographs as well as I'd like, or design "epic" graphics I take extra notice of those that can. It's nothing really personal, please don't make that assumption.
Q: Poetry prints?
A: They're coming 
Q: Aren't poems supposed to rhyme?
A: Not all of life is structured, not all of art is structured.
Q: Where do you get your inspiration(s)?
A: The simple observations of living.
