Welcome to
The Mute Poet,
website of philosopher
and author 
Mike Mitchell.

"The way to silence [the austere realist] is to be more realist than he—to lay our ears closer to the murmur of life as it actually flows through us at every moment and to discover there all that quivering and wonder and (in a sense) infinity which the literature that he calls realistic omits. For the story which gives us the experience most like the experiences of living is not necessarily the story whose events are most like those in a biography or newspaper.”
