    Thank you, Jason! That was a great talk and reading. It was good to hear how you read your poems for the timing, etc. Have you seen the UA-cam channel The Active Mind? He likes a lot of Russian works but the other day he pulled out Faulkner and Plath. Have you watched the UA-cam video In Celebration of Burlington Poets? I enjoyed listening to the poets. I liked the storytelling type of poems that Anna Blackmer read with Sun Damage... I'll put one of my short poems in another comment box. Thanks again for this great video.

    Wow! I had no idea you were a poet! Really enjoyed listening to your poetry. There's definitely a southernness to your poems that make them beautiful 🎉

      Jason is too humble to brag but Jason is very talented. Literature wise and Life experience wise. I highly recommend his book Laughing Is Forever. I really connected with that book. -James

    Thank you for what you do Jason. Teachers do not get enough recognition. Teachers do touch Lives. I will never forget my English Literature teacher in H.S. He introduced me to Poetry and Literature from England. You should make an audio reading of your works. -James

    One of your best videos man. i appreciate that you don't try to act like something your not. And you have some of the best fans/friends/subs on UA-cam. Just keep up the good work. And I liked hearing you read from your books.

    Jason, I loved listening to you read your works! Everytime I see a copy of 'Black Creek🌳🧹 Crossing' I IMMEDIATELY think of that terrifying of Roundtree, Massachusetts!!! Great book by Saul. I see some Rick Hautala over your left also......he is one you don't see very often. Take "s"care Jason.

    It's 7:33 PM now!
    We are not together as I wished for.
    Can I just fall asleep now?
    Can I just go into a world where I am happy?
    A helicopter is flying too low over the house; its body trembles.
    The ceiling fan turns
    and its arthritic joint clicks and clicks
    over and over.
    The washing machine struggles in its old age protesting its work with a constant moan of a high pitch.
    Cancer is eating at me.
