Prayers to the heavens for Poetic Lives!

I've had the most amazing poetic journey...soul hours...hours of growth -- delivering the word and living up to it I feel so blessed and so happy to live the life that I have.
In a whirlwind of travel Juan and I have truly unleashed truth -- in magnitudes we'd never imagine reachable... all in the name of POETRY

From the beautiful open hills of Petaluma -- for the California Poets in the Schools retreat at IONS (Institute of Noetic Sciences) which was the rebirth long needed, and in meeting new friends and soul mates of the same spirit and passion to teach our youth and aid them in their paths to positivity & creativity!!! To all the Poet Teachers -- I am HONORED to breathe beside you!





























From this wonderful experience, we made it back to our creative home, our ROCK, Beyond Baroque -- to the arms of a FULL CROWD of SoapBox Poets celebrating the work of the beautiful and FIERCE Poet Alexis Fancher... and it doesn't stop there.




 What a homecoming. What a beautiful community of risk takers and truth tellers who will NEVER be silenced! I am proud to live in your space... and then, an epic CLIMAX of literary celebration: Library Girl's 5th Year Anniversary, the vision of Susan Hayden selflessness and joy! A healing journey that has healed WORLDS of people -- thank you, Susan!

I just can't fathom all the intense details: sitting in the pews, alongside Richard Modiano and S.A. Griffin -- both pioneers and literary troublemakers whom I respect and look up to... being adopted by Punk Hostage Press with all the POETRY BADASSES hand-picked by our sexy ringleader Iris Berry and A. Razor -- the holiest of holies couldn't be any holier. Yes, this is life. A happy one.


Thank you to this universe -- Pacha Mamma... my partner in crime... I am satisfied.

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...
