James Porter is an American born, London based fanatic of all that is creative. His mother is an artist who taught him the words he has always lived by: life isn’t any fun when you’re fitting in. James grew up recording music and painting from a very young age and now his focus is on poetry, where he is able to harness and express the macabre and beauty of the world at once.

James started modelling in 2019 for the men’s publication of Arena Hommes+ and made his debut in fashion week for Etro Spring 22. He holds British, Spanish and American Passports.

Slow, easy Sunday’s spent with papers and select works from Black Mountain students. Poem is entitled ‘DIRE’ by Duke A. Porter.

Transcribed:

“Dire!”
He screamed, his mind was
Filled with thoughts, now crumpled paper.
Ideas now lost to the bin,
Soaked in red wine.
Or burnt outside in raging fires
That spit bright red and orange embers,
That land on one’s skin and mark a time,
Through scar,
Of what he had.

“Here I lay,”
He said,
“Here I lay no more than a shell of a man!
God has not ‘llowed my thoughts to preserve,”

Again he spoke,
Out loud to nothing but Trees which fall in silence
And Lightning which strikes no ears;
“My mind!
My mind has been ill to a loss of memory,
My hand!
My hand has been ill to a loss of ink,
My body!
My body has been ill.”

Like moths, which have eaten away at my clothes
These ideas I rage on about have been taken.
Eaten alive,
By a force of good or Evil, seems not for me to decide.
And yet, it appears, as decisions made by me lay before I,
Something has pointed to me, and, for brief second given all ears,
With shaking hand, given me that title, not of good,
But of Evil;
No more,
No less.

Three days in NYC, many more to come; final poem titled THE RUINED by Duke A. Porter
