viewfile?guid=397169740B755D029BBA478F3A         


The Los Angeles Poet Society is very happy to partner with Bohemian Paradise Press, an International Press with founding principals in the lush land of Bohemian Paradise, Czech Republic, and the declaration: "I'm a Writer, Not a Fucking Bestseller!" by Writer, Poet, Singer, Scholar, and World Traveler, Milena Oda Láska! 



We are extremely excited to Host the Official LAUNCH of Bohemian Paradise Press as a part of Writer Wednesdays at Bob's Espresso Bar!

Date: Weds, July 17
Time: 7 - 9:30pm
Cost: Free 
Address: 5251 Lankershim Blvd. North Hollywood, CA 91601 at Bob's Espresso Bar


Milena will discuss the new press and share the visions and opportunities that Bohemian Paradise Press creates! She will also give a reading of an excerpt from selected work(s) to be published by Bohemian Paradise Press!


Bohemian Paradise Press is an international press, cultivated by the virtues of Writers and creative people, whose founding is based on Milena Oda's slogan: "I am a Writer not a fucking Bestseller!".

We invite international Writers, Poets, Authors, Bloggers, as passionate individuals, laboring in isolation, creating magic for others in their own world. They work on the messages for the world; whether local or international, every single message counts! The change of the individual and the world fuse with spiritual approach.

PS: The (classical) Bestseller isn't able to create his/her book without the Editor; in fact the Editor is the final bestseller. The Editor knows the the "profit-maximization" business and the needs of the mass.

This is our new Bohemian Paradise and you can become the New Bohemian with us!! Be a Writer, be a Bohemian!



Along with the launch of  Bohemian Paradise Press, Writer Wednesdays  will also be featuring Poet, Pete Justus!

     

Pete Justus, founder and co-host of the Rapp Saloon, has been writing poetry for over 30 years. He is the author of two volumes of poetry, Truth, Taps & Time, and The Edge of a Brighter Day.

Pete is well known in the Southern California poetry community and has been the featured reader at many venues. He teaches European and American history at Westchester High School.


PLUS, Open MIC! Come on up to the mic, open to all creative genres! 5 minute maximum!
We will be live streaming this event!

I'm heading to the Moon!

     Since I was a little girl, I was in love with wind, the land, and the proximity of the moon. Her glowing face shed just enough grace to soothe my tears in its quiet light.  I felt the depth of her passion, her longing, her loneliness, her strength. I sought the eyes of her face; along with their color, and holding smile. She traced me along the footprint I patted down; little girl beating brown; a tiny hand of mud.

Tangled in more Grapevines

Ways You Can Support 💜 Dear Friends, As I navigate some meaningful transitions this season, I’m reaching out with gratitude and humility. If you feel called to support, here are a few ways your kindness could truly help me and my little family right now: Help us get to León (August 14–21) so the kids and I can spend our birthday week together with loved ones. Contribute to our August rent — a little breathing room would mean a lot. Share resources or curriculum for advanced elementary studies — I’m homeschooling! Help me enroll in an advanced Spanish class. Support with vehicle tag renewal costs. Haircuts for the kiddos. New clothing for the little ones — they grow so fast! Help organizing and decluttering at home. Let me know if your address can be a reliable business address for LAPS correspondence.

Review of Chemorella by Ken Phillips and Katy Franco

Chemorella , Ken Phillips and Katy Franco’s color-bound, 57 page bilingual journey catapults readers into the world of cancer and the afterward. This story captures the rawness of emotional evolution of someone diagnosed with cancer. In these pages we witness the first injections of devastation, denial, fear, and finally the climax of letting go and choosing life over grief or giving up to the disease.  Phillips and Franco address the severity of cancer in a way that is expressive and humorous; and also written in a way that is always accessible to the reader by means of adopting the Cinderella Fairy Tale to Franco’s testimony. Like Cinderella, Chemorella is a lovely and beautiful woman with a lot of good spirit to share. However, Chemorella becomes stricken with a tragedy that many people don’t come back from, that is far more serious than anything Cinderella had faced. Though with nudges of negativity from her three “famously awful roommates,” and guidance from her super ...
