For Partricia, poetry allows the imagination to guide the hand in writing down the voice from within. Poetry is a safe flight into her darkest moments and other forbidden territories with her at the controls. By using words on paper, they become puppets. Through these puppets, she can express any deep-rooted fear or desire without submitting herself to embarrassing conversation. She prefers to get things down on paper as a catharsis for the soul. These emotions and ideas, whether they are dark or light are beautified and the afterimages that they produce are rewarding and uplifting. Please share her experience and take a journey to where the intelligence of the heart can contemplate the complexities of the mind.

At 10:09pm on August 6, 2008, Patricia Carragon said…: i used to do volunteer work at St. Bart's Church in Manhattan and started writing little ads. I enjoyed writing these and felt that I could do better. When Princess Di died, i wrote a poem for her. After 9/11, all the emotions broke through the levies.

At 9:37pm on August 6, 2008, Laurence said…: wow, you've quite the handful to deal with. But a great one at that I will say. I just started reading my material and hope to take it further. How did you first start out?

At 7:55pm on July 27, 2008, Laurence said…: thanks! i'm starting to feel quite comfortable here since i've joined. Myspace and facebook were starting to become second nature to me. But I hope all goes well with your resting period.
What are your series about?

At 11:41am on July 27, 2008, Laurence said…: hi patricia! im laurence and pretty new here. how are things?

At 9:35pm on July 1, 2008, TWiN East Coast said…: Dear Patricia,

Thank you for your kind words. We need to speak about the Brownstone Poet events so that the TEC page can help to promote them. If you know of a site which provides a definitive online listing of poetry events in the NY/NJ area then please let us know and we will add a link to their site on the TEC page to try to make things easier for everyone. Please send me Larissa or me a message via the TEC page with your e-mail address so that we can correspond further.

Good Luck !

Ron

At 10:34am on March 23, 2008, Max Parthas said…: Today is the day we celebrate the ultimate in overcoming. A day when we believe nothing is impossible. That all things, death included, can be conquered. A day of rebirth and humanities hopes realized.

May every day from this one forward be a time dreams and faith are realized for you.
