Hello Nice People,
This is to invite you to a presentation -- "Selected Writings: Language of Celebration" -- I'll be doing at the UU Church of Spartanburg on August 8. Many of you have seen and read my journalism but you may or may not know poetry is my first love. I've been writing for years: it and mother nature are the only things keeping me sane.
I will share works from different eras, some profound, some personal, some downright goofy and some, well, I don't know what you'd call it. It may or may not be your cup of tea but I can guarantee you that you will not have heard it before! This is all original, mostly never-before-published work. My challenge is to narrow it down to a manageable number of works.
Now, some people hear "poetry" and they think of the maudlin I'm-so-miserable-let-me-count-the-ways, wrestling-with-my-personal-demons stuff churned out by so many college students. All honest poets will tell you they have at some point penned some of this stuff, myself included. I won't be reading you any of it though. That is best saved for use on unwanted house guests: "Let me read you some poetry," I say and whip out the anguish laden cauldron of college verse. It's more effective than telling them you've got a case of swine flu!
August 8, 11 a.m. UU Church of Spartanburg. See you then, or not...
Peace & light,
Janice
