The videos of the readings from the JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival IX have been posted at long last to the website. Take a look (and listen) here. Just click on the bold underlined text to start a particular video.
The videos begin with the readings of the actual work, not with preambles, and in a few cases the camera was bumped or the battery died, so still photos are used instead. The audio captured all the readings, in any case.
We wish to express appreciation to Brad Kuhn, who worked alone at the festival to set up cameras and microphones to capture video and audio for three separate venues over two days, while also assisting his co-director with putting out fires.
Enjoy!
2023 marks a decade of the JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival where we’ve come together around our literary community and shared in narrating Jacksonville’s story. Over these ten years, we’ve shared poems in arcades, performed interpretive readings at the Jessie, and shared the words of many. We’ve also built a community, and that community is growing. We are deeply thankful for the unwavering support and contributions of past directors and JaxbyJax pioneers, Tim Gilmore, Brad Kuhn, and Darlyn Finch Kuhn. Their vision has brought JaxbyJax to where it is now, and part of their vision looking forward seeks to grow and evolve our literary community across story genres, continue strong community partnerships, and provide opportunities for diverse thought. Facilitating these upcoming changes, JaxbyJax is happy to announce that they have appointed Erica Saffer as Lead Director for the 2023 JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival. We are excited to see how her vision advances the momentum of the movement that is JaxbyJax!
Happy New Year, Y’all!
Want more romance in 2023? Author Julie Compton wrote: “Reading Three Houses made me want to wake up my husband to have sex.” Just sayin’.
A poet and a writer, suddenly single under similar circumstances, meet at the house where Jack Kerouac toiled in obscurity before On The Road changed his life. Three Houses is a narrative in verse documenting the ecstasies, agonies and everydays of a phoenix rising from the ashes of their troubled pasts. These are words spoken (and sometimes yelled) heart to heart, written for private consumption, but published for friends old and new, for those who believe in love, and for anyone standing at a crossroads wondering: Is this all there is?
Here’s a link to buy the paperback version.
Rather download it to your Kindle?
Care to hear some sample cuts? Check out Making Love: A Practitioner’s Guide, published by EAT Poems.
If you like what you hear, order the entire Three Houses collection, read by the authors, from Audible.
Like a fly on the wall, observe a REAL romance in all its agony and ecstasy-preferably with somebody you’d love to wake up.
