Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

winddance— yeah, I’m not the only one. I feel it too. There’s a lot of darkness and lack of positivity. And I’m personally in between different versions of myself. It’s hard work to want to get through it, but I need some light, some brightness— a direction to go in. I keep telling myself if I just ...

Thank you Steve & Roy for your supportive feedback! I listened to Anne Sexton reciting a poem last night and it inspired me to write this short piece about reciting poetry . I love Anne Sexton. And I like this piece that came out of me quite easily. It is honest. Authentic. It has cadence and truth....

I could. I guess.

I need to get moving and get back into doing the things I love to do. Thx for the encouragement

Absolutely. This is remembrance and rediscovery. It's hard for me to articulate the full extent of what Litkicks meant to me after I happened onto it 22 years ago after googling Jack Kerouac on the then still-kinda-new internet, and I knew right away that I had to join the place and try to hold my ...

It makes me want to recite again. I miss my life, the parts I’ve put aside, in order to manage the rest. I miss my voice, my choice of words, my language; I was blessed. And now, how I am speechless. Overwrought with not a breath. And more than that, I’m silent so nothing now, bereft But I go on. An...

And these are from 2018 when SAW ( Steve Weaver) and Creativesoul (Jana Livingston) both met me in Herndon Virginia for lunch, a drink, and an art show

Ok here are some photos … this one was in NYC with the Litkicks gang

The LitKicks discussion boards were open for three and a half years, running from January 2001 to July 2004. We opened here right after they closed… July 2004. So, Studio8 has been online for 21 years— will be 22 years in July. That’s a long time! It’s no wonder those 3-1/2 years meant so much to yo...

Mnaz— I’m so glad you got the opportunity to meet them! I met Kari and her brother in NYC when we went up there to read poetry 2002 maybe? I can’t remember the year. Would have loved to have met Theda and Jim Furnish. Jim’s gone now, you know. I see Theda and Kari on Facebook regularly. Every piece ...

Awesome! Yay! Glad you’re enjoying it, Steve!

http://studioeight.tv/images/radio8_LOGO_small.gif Oh what a great project this was! We only got 4 shows finished and broadcast but I had dozens of mp3s which were created and submitted by many Studio8 poets and musicians in the pipeline ready to be broadcast for future shows! I was reminiscing the...

I love this. Deliberate run-on sentences and stream of conscience thoughts are one of my favorite styles of writing! I read it 3x

Studio Eight told me it was your birthday today! Hope it was awesome!! 🤩 🥳

I hear you but I want to be able to write about what’s going on. It’s important to me. If I feel like writing about beauty, I can do that too, but I want to also and importantly write about the absolute ugliness of the current state of our country. I can’t think of anything more important to me righ...
