Musical Guest: Paul S Jenkins
Born and raised in the Shenandoah Valley of northern Virginia, music for me started by the family getting together on various back porches and jamming.
I learned early that listening is typically far more important than talking. It is the people, relationships, and experiences that make life interesting.
From 1996-2000, I was a professional touring singer/songwriter in Germany. During that time I played predominantly original music and roughly 300 solo shows.
About 7 years ago I was diagnosed with panic disorder with agoraphobia and for several years was basically house-bound. That time was the beginning, not only of my return to songwriting but also my personal healing.
In the last few years, I’ve digitally released several home brewed singles, written a bunch on new songs, and have returned to the stage. Though only in the infancy of my “second wind”, I am excited for what future holds…

Featured Poet: Sibyl James
Sibyl James is the author of eleven books–poetry, fiction and travel memoirs–including In Chinawith Harpo and Karl (Calyx Books), The Adventures of Stout Mama (Papier-Mache Press), China Beats (Egress Studio Press), The Last Woro Woro to Treichville: A West African Memoir (StringTown Press), and, most recently The Grand Piano Range (Black Heron Press). She has taught at colleges in the U.S., China, Mexico, and–as Fulbright professor–Tunisia and Cote d’Ivoire. As writer in residence, she has worked for the Washington State Arts Commission, the Seattle Arts Commission, and the Seattle School District. Her writing has received awards from Artist Trust and the Seattle, King County and Washington State arts commissions.
The “range” of the poems in Sibyl James’ new collection, The Grand Piano Range, is not only geographic, but also political and personal. Geographically, many of the poems are grounded in the Pacific Northwest of the United States: Alaska, Oregon, and most often Washington, where James has been a longtime resident. Like another Washington-based poet, Richard Hugo, James is interested in the back roads, small towns, and good bars where a waitress “shares Wild Turkey on the house” and a neighbor is the guy who takes your shift the night your baby’s born.
But this range extends beyond the Pacific Northwest with poems powered by political investigations. They protest the loss of squatter’s rights in Appalachia. They speak of both the exuberance of Pele, goddess of volcanoes in Hawaii and the privations experienced by Chinese laborers there. They recount the disasters of the civil wars and U.S. complicity in them that ravaged Central America in the 1980s. Closer to home, there are poems that confront the American gap between rich and poor.
Of course, the personal is political, but in this collection they often clearly coincide. There are plenty of love poems here, but almost always embedded in larger contexts. The invitation of “Going Places” includes tramps on a train; “Blue Herons” pictures a wife watching her Spanish husband’s military remembrance of marches; “Intersection” is the Platonic love of a Jewish tailor who wants to make a coat to protect his American client from pain.
Overall, this collection makes both a lyric and narrative account of the late twentieth century from a specific American point of view.

Jay Ward is a poet and teaching artist from Charlotte, NC. There is an honest and raw energy released to the audience when his page meets the stage; a story aching to be heard, a salve searching for hearts. Jay is currently ranked 14th in the world for slam poetry and Charlotte’s 2016 Poet of the Year. He is also a Program Director for BreatheInk, where he facilitates writing and performance workshops and coaches youth poets attending Brave New Voices each year. He has released two full length cd’s of poetry, published the book Life Power Soul in 2009, and is certified to lead writing groups and workshops by Amherst Writer’s and Artists. In addition he has appeared on Fox News, opened for Angie Stone and Georgia Me, featured in many venues throughout the southeast and taught at numerous schools and universities. The role of an artist is to take the world around them, translate it, and hand it back to the people. The role of an artist is not to be the fire but to be the spark. The only constraint to the artist is the size of his audience, you, the fuel. Jay Ward would love to be your catalyst.

Featured Poet: Tonja Michelle
My first inspiration came after reading Shakespeare and at 5 years old, I announced I wanted to learn to write beautiful works of art & produce silverscreen & theater productions. I’ve never lost that wide-eyed fascination for the written word. Among the Indians of the Pacific Northwest, the verb for “making poetry” is the same as the verb “to breathe” and my experience with my poetic visions has been like that for me. For me, it was a way to take a challenging situation & still find the everlasting beauty in it all. After raising 3 beautiful children, Tonja is just now sharing her life-long love and passion with the world.

Laura LeHew writes and edits from the hills of Eugene, Oregon. She is widely published; her four collections include: Becoming (Another New Calligraphy), Willingly Would I Burn, (MoonPath Press), It’s Always Night, It Always Rains, (Winterhawk Press) and Beauty (Tiger’s Eye Press). Lana Hechtman Ayers says “As dark as the reality of Becoming is, the journey is redeemed by unflinching examination, moments of unwavering generosity, and the faithful testimony of survival.”
She is on the steering committee for the Lane Literary Guild and is a volunteer for the Oregon Poetry Association having held positions as President, Vice-President, Webmaster, Contest Chair and Cascadia Editor, a student award anthology. She interned for, and is a former board member, of CALYX Press, an independent press focused on nurturing women’s creativity. Laura co-hosts the reading series Poetry for the People. In her other life Laura owns a computer forensics and network security consulting company. Laura received her MFA in writing from the California College of Arts. She edits her small press Uttered Chaos www.utteredchaos.org. Laura always thought she’d be an astronaut.
Laura’s small press Uttered Chaos focuses on poetry. Since its inception she has published numerous books/chapbooks by NW poets. Three projects forthcoming include a technical book, Command Line Kung Fu, authored by Paul Asadoorian, Tim Medin, Hal Pomeranz and Ed Skoudis and edited by Laura LeHew, a chapbook by A. Molotkov and a book by Renee Amatane e Roman Nose.
Laura lives in the realm of possibility, where anything can happen. She is constantly thinking of new ideas and themes to convey in her work. Her intent is to create works that are formally and aesthetically engaging while conceptually connecting with the everyday; to reify the ordinary into the extraordinary; to question realities—social, political and otherwise. Poetry is a way to explore and understand those ideas which frustrate and confront her.
