Karina Bush is a bold writer with brass balls who is quite methodological when it comes her work. Whether she be writing about: self love, sex or john\’s the body of work genuinely speaks for itself. I have to admit, I love artists who are ok with a little bit of discomfort when it comesContinue reading “Interview, Karina Bush”

Christy Aldridge
When I read the poems of my next showcase Christy Aldridge I want to just sit and cry. Because her work is lovely and EXTREMELY emotive. It moves me to think of a mission that I started years ago called “the verity of humanity” basically, searching for personal and intimate truths. And Christy is quiteContinue reading “Christy Aldridge”

Allen Tesch
Norman Rockwell, cookie cutter houses and luscious descriptions are exactly what you will find once you read the tremendous pieces written by Allen Tesch below.

Katie Nolen
I love dual meanings when I read poetry – Katie Nolen\’s poetry induces intellectual thoughts through her profound scenes. (Can you believe someone once told me that poetry is not intellectual?

Karina Bush
Karina Bush is a poet who doesn\’t restrain her emotions when she spawns her pieces. If the mood of a poem travels to an extremely dark place or is consumed with light she will follow her muse – regardless of subject matter until her desired piece is written. I find that quality quite brave aboutContinue reading “Karina Bush”
