Devon Welsh catches up with friend and fellow musician Sean Nicholas Savage to talk poetry and keeping things earnest.
omething about it gives me this idea of a future that we had before that we don’t anymore.” While catching up, the two Canadians connected over their embrace of sincerity, a shared love of poetry, and the pain of having to explain their vocations to bemused border agents.WELSH: I’ve been listening to all your music and videos and interviews and stuff, so I feel like I’ve been hanging out with you.
SAVAGE: Yeah and it was funny, I was thinking about you, and then you wanted to talk. We do have this artistic similarity, a minimalism, that I don’t know many other artists have. I write different poetry, but there’s something kind of the same about it.SAVAGE: I really admire how you were making it public. When I write, it’s a safe space for me to explore my thoughts outside of my head and have a jam session, but it’s scary to share.
SAVAGE: I used to get that a lot when I was younger, when things were a little bit more culturally bro-y or something. Fans would be like, “It’s all a joke, right? It’s all an act?” It would drive me crazy. I might be laughing but I am very sincere. I don’t know if I’m trying to be ironic. SAVAGE: Hopefully not. Sometimes I’m trying to say one thing and I end up saying something else, and if it’s worth it, then it’s good. Sometimes if I say something too clearly, it’s a little too clear.
