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!

One Month Away!

In one month, I get to marry the most loving person I've ever met in my lifetime! Juan Adrian Cardenas, thank you for loving me. Te amo! I have been in bliss ever since I've met him...and I can't believe how well I could ever get along with another human being. This is a wonderful gift, and I hope all of humanity gets the opportunity to experience this. Dreams come true. You must NEVER give up on yourself. You must also believe that you are WORTH every bit of happiness. You must cherish YOURSELF first before you find true love... True Love Never Diez... :) Love for yourself is really the primary thing...do what you love, be who you want to be... and your energy will exude into the ether...sending out pheromones, this is the attraction. Be yourself... you ARE the attraction. It's so possible, just never give up...that is my advice. Not sure if anyone asked, but I had to write this down. This is the path I've taken, which has led me to Juan. Led ...

In Loving Memory of Anthony St. Jude Greene

My best friend died Sunday, July 24, 2011. Best and oldest friend...a brother and someone connected to my soul throughout life. It's not entirely real to me...we'd always talk, plan trips to see each other. This is going to be hard. He struggled a lot throughout his life; his weight problem, respiratory issues, sensitivity in general as he got older and heavier. It's a damn shame. He was a very strong man. Very strong! He'd fight off death for years. :) He'd joke about it a lot...saying that death is gonna have to fight harder because he's not giving up. His heart gave out, his body had enough trauma. He just had to let go, we have to acknowledge that he lived hard, fought well, died nobly. We'd joke about our heritage...we had much of the same mix of mutt in us, which was quite unique. He was also the son of many many vikings! Norsemen were tough, full of valor and grit, arghhhhhhh! Those medieval times men had nothing on Anthony Greene. :) Noth...
