On being adopted...

It's an extraordinary feeling, as an artist or creative of any sort, to be backed by a BAND of artists! This type of nurturing is what I am experiencing having been newly added as the baby of the Punk Hostage Press publishing unit!


Punk
Hostage
Press


Wow -- I dig that name... let the bad-asses of literature LIVE, and let their words breathe to the people of the world.
Epic.

I am so honored and so glad to have been adopted by Iris Berry and A. Razor -- I hope I make them proud and ignite passion from my words! It's like having everything to gain and everything to lose on one coin...the gambler in me extends a hand to those dice. I'm all in baby!

One of the 1st events I get to join the PHP with is 100 Thousand Poets for Change! I'll be reading as one of the L.A. Women of Punk Hostage Press! What an honor! You know I'm all about LA and being a woman! Hells yes!

Plus, 100 TPC is an event I hold dearly since its conception in 2010!

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 ~
