A little about me
My name is Jon. I’m a street poet. I welcome you to my little side of the internet and invite you to explore my offerings and musings.
Poetry - written word that stirs the imagination, emotions, and desires of the reader. Seems pretty cool, right? Yet it has been imprisoned in the minds of scholars or in memory quizzes for grade school classrooms.
I want to write poetry for every stranger I see in the street. Stories and words that give us wings and purpose shouldn’t be locked away. Everyone loves and wants poetry - even if they don’t know it yet.
The Street Poet Society is my attempt to liberate the written word and bring it back into our lives. This website is the hub - the meeting place of our little society. Here you can find the various ways to receive my work, support my vision, and help poetry return to streets and homes.
Thank you all for making art possible,
J.M.
