Most of Sam Kuriashi’s poems are visual poems. He writes what he sees in nature and
human conditions, dismal or favorable. As a student of art and mathematics, he mixes both
the esthetics and the abstract of both fields with words that reflect his emotion and set him
to ponder upon things as they are, or as the seem to be.
******************************** You will find his narrations mixed with
similes and metaphors as well as simplicity in expressing his thoughts upon a subject.
He found free verses, controlled and uncontrolled, is the best way to write his poems.
In free verse, you are free to say what you want to say; no rhyme, no measure, and
no meter to adhere to and to say what you have to say, but saying what you want to say.
********************************
This does not mean that you have to throw all the rules out of the widow. to the contrary,
you have to adhere to some rules like William Carlos Williams and Walt Whitman did.
Once William Carlos Williams said, “ I try to take the American language as I find it.”
New English is the American new identity and the contemporary American English is
Sam Kuraish’s way to express himself in that form of writing.
Most of Sam Kuraish’s influence came from the “Beat Generations” of Allen Ginsburg,
Leroy Jones, Lawrence Ferlighetti, and other contemporaries. He also is inspired by by
the work of Carl Sandburg and the Chicago circle writers including Studs Terkel and Nelson
Algren.
 ********************************
Sam Kuraishi is also inspired by the work of Walt Whitman, William Blake, William
Carlos Williams, Khalil Gibran, and Adonis.
