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 PressWriter 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.

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 ~

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

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...
