Besides songwriting, I like to read my poetry (beat poems) in coffee shops. I write fairy tales and film reviews also and love literature/writing essays. I love doing yoga and used to teach it for a while. Now I just go to class and do crazy upside down stuff for fun. I have a penchant for Broadway tunes, fantasy novels, art house movies, and cheesy 80's horror flicks.
The Power of Silly Putty and Lipstick Kisses for US fans The Power of Silly Putty and Lipstick Kisses is a book of wonderfully crafted psychedelic poetry that opens up the imagination to new ways of thinking. The reader is tossed into imaginary worlds of tiny talking bear societies in honey jars and a microscopic mermaid city. Images such as a gingerbread house inside an eye or diving into primordial soup hitting earth's zygote are the types of visuals that are speckled throughout the book. Influenced by Leonard Cohen and Allen Ginsberg, these poems have the ability to entertain and inspire.

“Just when you thought all musical avenues have been thoroughly explored, along comes an act that blows away past assumptions and rewrites the music books. DJ Monkey is such an act.”John Sollenberger, ‘Pasadena Weekly
