    Joy's Interests
GeneralI currently edit books and write for Augustus Publishing. I have a short story published in an anthology of female writers, "Lipstick Diaries." In the new magazine by Augustus, SLR (street lit review) I maintain the poetry page and edit and write for the mag. I am also editing a poetry anthology for Augustus called "Poems From The Urban Wilderness." Reading, writing, movies, and chatting. Rescuing cats; babies and grown and then finding them forever homes. I love my apple computer - I have a 20 inch G5 and it is soo cool. I can't imagine ever being without it. Myspace Layouts
MusicBlues, Rock and Roll and Jazz are my fav types of music. I love Luther Allison, Eric Clapton, Albert King, Buddy Guy, and Bob Marley is my 2nd husband and my hero. Bob was a poet, a man of power and imagination. I also can't help it that he was also a misogynist or that I love him.
MoviesAmerican Beauty, Smoke Signals, Blue Velvet, Pulp Fiction, The Ice Storm, The Usual Suspects, Good Fellows, Heat, The Big Chill, True Romance
TelevisionSix Feet Under, Deadwood, Carnival, Veronica Mars, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I like Desperate Housewives and the acting is very good. Don't forget about Las Vegas CSI - it's very cool.
BooksLiterary wonders and mystery books; Lost In A Good Book by Jaspor Fforde is a recent must read and on the level of Catch 22. When looking for printers, I was sent a sample book by Elizabeth Benedict who I had never heard of before. Her writing is very insightful and quirky; her characters all are psychologically based which impressed me as a social worker.
HeroesPaul Newman, Bob Marley, Bonnie Raitt, and Mark Green. Sites like raintiger.com which is open to new people and styles.

About me:
A view of life & artistry through my pen:

I've been writing all my life. Writing is like breathing; I need it to stay alive and survive. I've been on the New York City writing scene since the early 90's with a short hiatus. After returning to the New York City poetry scene, I began featuring on radio and TV shows and at venues throughout the city. I've been on Teacher's & Writer's Collaborative show "Everything Goes", Rockland World Radio - "Cool on the Groove"," Jazz Poetry Cafe" featured on indie feed and itunes in addition to the TV show "The New Yorkers."

What was a passing of awareness
Turns a now intricate impress
Silent flows of rain sheer down
On fields

Versed in due confess

The land below saturates as
Mind-clear stream,
Thoughtful insights

Whispered on pleasant-voiced dream

Have a good weekend Joy!

Thank you for your kind words of support!

Social workers (and other helper/caregivers) have my admiration, being underappreciated and often overworked. Teaching is my personal calling and more than being a career option, it defines me.
