Jessica's Leading Poetry Workshops!

Hi,
Inviting you to join the fun in August at PoetryPalooza!
The Zzyxz Poets have set up venues all over LA county, I hope you can attend.
There will be workshops, readings, music, and much fun to be had.

In particular, I will be giving a poetry workshop on the found poem using the Humament Method, tying that into Stream of Consciousness.

PLUS, I will be giving a little workshop to the "Kiddos" on Acrostics. Of course all are welcome to join. :)

My workshops are on: 
August 20th at Thematic Attic in West Covina, 
August 21st at Eureka Cafe in MidCity LA, 
August 22nd at Amsterdam Cafe in North Hollywood, and 
August 27th at The Last Bookstore in downtown LA.

I think you would enjoy it!

Also, my very good friend, Jayson Pida will be leading his own workshops on Implementing the Visual into your Poetry on August 19th  at Stories Cafe in Echo Park.

Hope you can make it!

When everyone was quarantined, I felt like

  "When everyone was quarantined, I felt like..."           I was caged,  my cord cut,            the outside was in,       and I  wasn’t ready for that. I felt like I was out of time                 – no way to re-plan my life,  no way to be by anyone’s side. I like mapping the scene,     feel heat amongst a crowd,  and now, to stay away from them,  I have to hide. Close myself off  my nature,  to enjoy parties  dancing, all the things               feel more alive…  When that door shut, a hurricane hit. JMWC 9/22/20 from class, Panorama High School, 2020

my brain is completely flooded i've rode this train before to a journey laden in cumbersome foot-stomps catching my frolic to the ground, tumbling over some man's arms, thick-legged brawn there is a part of me that says, 'you're too old for this'... maybe to know better is to be declarative and surrender to the certainties in life. however certain and present, the tornado will  follow. it's better to live submissive instead of dismissive to the velocity of life held out in front of you... like the last banana in the fruit bowl, or that chocolate cake you just want to lick. bowl to casket. each motion a delight.

In Honor of Mother Earth

Happy Earth Month!  Right now, we see the blossoms opening, the vines ripening -- the sweet smell of Spring is here! Congratulations to everyone for making it out of the darkness, in this frigid air... the dew of the damp Earth has sprouted many blessings.  Rake up the gentle soil and bring her into your circle. Let the abundance flow into your circle; enjoy the fragrance of your harvest. I wanted to offer up this powerful song; Madre Tierra , by Maya Jupiter. Her message is steady and daring to be spoken into the ears of all who dwell on and know Mother Earth.  Speak righteously, and take care. ~ Jessica ~
