TO WATCH JAXBYJAX LITERARY ARTS FESTIVAL VII, you MUST have a Facebook profile and GO TO: facebook.com/JaxbyJax and LIKE the page. 

YES, instead of having one two-hour documentary video to be shown on Saturday and repeated on Sunday, we filmed enough fabulous material for almost four hours of viewing pleasure. Don’t despair if you miss one of the watch parties; we’ll post the videos elsewhere later. But all the COOL KIDS will be at the watch parties; just saying.

THEN ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, AT NOON, GO TO: facebook.com/JaxbyJax TO JOIN THE WATCH PARTY FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE DOCUMENTARY FILM.   The first two hours (with a brief intermission) will LIFT YOUR SPIRITS and OPEN YOUR MIND, featuring poetry and prose by Yvette Angelique, Ben Atkinson, Tayve Neese, Abel Harding, Lex Hamilton, Tim Gilmore, Taryn “Love Reigns” Wharwood, Brad Kuhn, Shannon Pulusan, Johnny Masiulewicz, Michelle Lizet Flores, Damon Thomas, singer/songwriter Jesse Montoya, and featured poet Lynn Skapyak Harlin, who will read her work and also wrap things up with a 15-minute workshop on HOOKS that you won’t want to miss.

COME BACK TO FACEBOOK ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18, AT 7 P.M. and GO TO: facebook.com/JaxbyJax TO JOIN THE WATCH PARTY FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE DOCUMENTARY FILM. The second two hours (with a brief intermission) will HEAL YOUR HEART, featuring poetry and prose by Andres Rojas, Sarah Crooks, Thomas Ferriello, Sonja Mongar, Tricia Booker, Nikesha Williams, Sohrab Homi Fracis, singer/songwriter Jesse Montoya, and the fabulous STUDENT SHOWCASE. We’ll learn how to get involved with Women Writing for a Change from Jennifer Wolfe, talk with Ron Chamblin about the importance of bookstores, and walk with Tommy Shapard through his experience at Baptist Health with COVID-19.

​​See you there!
