San Francisco Chronicle, B1, 1993. “A FINE funkiness: Beat Generation goddess Ruth Weiss (she launched the jazz-poetry readings at The Cellar) and trumpeter Cowboy Noyd will have their first reunion since what John Ross calls "the bad old days" on Jan. 21 at Dog Eared Books on Valencia. Only two bucks for this historic moment. They met 30 yrs. ago at Jimbo's Bop City when Ruth was a waitress and Cowboy the house trumpet… Absolutely no. Noyd is not Brooklynese for nerd. Devotees of rock drumming will want to know that Prairie Prince is at the traps for both Paul Kantner's Starship and Todd Rundgren at the Warfield tomorrow night. A benefit for worthy Presidio Hill School… Accdg. to a big proud sign, the messiest stretch of Highway 24 east of Orinda was "Adopted By the Contra Costa Times." When Don Swartz phoned to complain about the mess, the Times knew just what to do. Removed the sign… You read where British Airways is paying almost a million in damages for a "dirty tricks" campaign against Virgin Atlantic Airlines? One of the tricks, as Steven Sherman notes, was "attempts by British Airways representatives to impersonate Virgin employees." I knew those neon halos wouldn't fool anybody.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f751a20b6dc782a76a0dfc1/62d70763-7478-43f0-b731-b764a2d390ff/B3B05D96-5FCC-4E7A-8119-9DEBF2F022F8.jpeg Blog - Naming a Goddess - Make it stand out The Community Enrichment Award the North Beach Chamber of Commerce presented to ruth weiss in 1999. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f751a20b6dc782a76a0dfc1/cfc812d5-f465-492e-80b6-8629596e26b9/15C314E8-4ACC-4A69-89C2-0BFD231F5004.jpeg Blog - Naming a Goddess - Make it stand out A cinema still from the documentary “ruth weiss, the beat goddess” of ruth weiss looking divine.

Maverick Poet Spotlight: Sur Ren Dirt - RWF: Congratulations on being named our 2021 Maverick Poet! What made you want to become a poet? Sur Ren Dirt: Poetry has lived inside of me for as long as I can remember. There was never a burning desire to be a poet, but rather an underlying knowing that has taken at least thirty-seven years to realize. Word magick visited younger versions of mySelf when least expected, when the body was in depths of shadow emotions spiraling inward, and often provided a lifesaving form of release for little Dirt. My words are potent, and up until a few months ago, I had only shared them with select people and audiences, including the trustworthy stack of journals strewn upon my desk. It's been such a wild ride to reconnect with younger versions of Self and alchemize life substance from years ago. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f751a20b6dc782a76a0dfc1/1631128440119-X8YRM85EHIS8RNPLI68G/Untitled+design+%281%29.png 2021 -

She describes her winning poem "Stone Pond" as an epic haiku; each three-line stanza of the poem stands alone as a haiku, just as Monadnock means the mountain that stands alone, in the Abenaki language. Taken together, these conventional haikus become one cohesive and rich description of the sensate natural world in and surrounding one of the Monadnock Region's most beautiful water bodies at the height of summer abundance. Stone Pond is a special place with which the poet has been privileged to form a deep and lasting connection. https://www.ruthweissfoundation.org/2024-winners/haiku-poetry-award-finalist-dee-slavutin monthly 0.5 2024-08-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f751a20b6dc782a76a0dfc1/09310bcd-2840-4851-b79e-9cfe14b3c335/dee+head+shot+2024+-+Dee+Slavutin.jpg 2024 - Haiku Poetry Awards Finalist - Dee Slavutin - Dee Slavutin recently retired from a forty year career in financial services in New York City.
