Thank you, Los Angeles and thank you to my friends and those who believe in my work as a Poet.

Hello my friends,
I wanted to be sure to get the word out to you about some upcoming features and workshops that I will be holding this week! It's a privilege to close out Poetry Month with a bang! 

Thursday, April 30
Rooftop Poetry Workshop with Jessica M. Wilson, MFA
Topic: Beat Generation @ 6pm
$5

It all starts on Thursday, April 30th, the last day of Poetry Month, I'll be at The Hatchery, teaching a Poetry Workshop on the Beat Generation.

This is truly such an honor. It's something I have been wanting to do all my life and I feel so blessed that I have this opportunity to share what I love to do with the people.

This workshop is $5. It's held in the beautiful rooftop garden as we see the sun drape down into slumber.

Drinks, food, lesson, writing time, sharing... it's all good. We give critiques very respectfully. Come join us!

I know you will not be disappointed. The Hatchery is a great new resource for us Writers -- it's a complete and total office, write or read in total silence, or in community. Unlimited coffee and water, immaculate bathroom, printing, wifi, and air conditioning. Go up to the rooftop garden for the perfect inspiration to cure any writers' block.

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...
