It's nice to hear good things!

I got this note today from Connotation Press: An Online Artifact, and it truly moved me. It's nice when you are appreciated, and especially nice when your work gets noted unexpectedly.
I am grateful for the attention that has been made to my work as a Poet. It's a craft that is done for self-pleasure, and at the same time, I do hope to reach the ears and eyes and minds of those who come across it.

Many times, I am unaware of the power my words can hold...Power may be too strong of a word. At this time, I am very humble, and very glad that others simply "see" me.

Here is what the editors from Connotation Press had to say:



From Editor-in-Cheif (Ken Robidoux)

"From back alleyways in Downtown Los Angeles to the Venice Beach boardwalk and all points of the Southland between,Jessica Wilson fearlessly gives venue to the poetry of others-- the poetry of the street. Now it's her turn. Poetry is a multifaceted gem, and for that aren't we the fortunate ones. Give 'em hell, Jess! Connotation Press: Service Repeats"


Kaite Hillenbrand "Jessica comes up with surprising, perfect phrases over and over. And there's such passion in her poetry. I'm so glad to have gotten to publish this work, and to give a home to the poetry of a poet who's a serious advocate for the arts."


Thank you so much for this acknowledgement!

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 ...

To my brother:

To my brother: you are my unconditional love. never was there any more, never shall there be any less. <3 you showed me that it was possible to be happy with myself, even when I refused to see past the haze of insecurity. i am sitting here, wanting to share words with you. all i can think of is a silent prayer to you for hopes that the words would finally come. i love you, anthony. always.
