About Jesus Crisis

John Burroughs,
a.k.a. Jesus Crisis, is a pacifist, poet, playwright, musician, composer, bibliophile, and seeker in Elyria, Ohio.

Co-founder (with Dianne Borsenik) of the monthly Lix and Kix Poetry Extravaganza and the annual winter wordfest known as Snoetry, John is also the founding editor and publisher for Crisis Chronicles Press and a regular contributor to the Cleveland Poetics and Ohio Poetry Association blogs. Since 2011 he has served as the OPA's webmaster pro tem.

John founded a loose association called Poets of Lorain County, under whose auspices he's hosted regular open mic and featured poet events at the Avon Lake Public Library and the Lorain Arts Council's 737 Gallery, as well as the PoetryElyria series at Jim's Coffeehouse and Diner, the Scott M. Duncan Photography studio and other venues in his hometown.

John's work has appeared on stages in four states, as well as in numerous journals, and he is the author of six poetry chapbooks, including:

Water Works (Recycled Karma Press, 2012)

Electric Company (Writing Knights Press, 2011)

6/9: Improvisations in Dependence by Jesus Crisis (Crisis Chronicles Press, 2009)

Identity Crises by Doug Manson, JC and Bree (Green Panda Press, 2009)

Bloggerel by JC (Crisis Chronicles Press, 2008)

Two broadsides featuring his work, For Change Is and Low Kay Shun, are available from NightBallet Press.

The Tao of Jesus Crisis: I'm Featured in the Field Guide - and then there were 600

I'm Featured in the Field Guide - and then there were 600

Today, I'm being featured in the NEO Poet Field Guide on the ClevelandPoetics blog! Check it out at http://clevelandpoetics.blogspot.com/2009/06/neo-poet-field-guide.html. You'll find my poem "Karma Souptra" there as well.

I'm also happy to announce that we've now reached the 600 post mark in the Crisis Chronicles Online Library. So far in June, I've added works by Franz Kafka, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Aristotle, Thoreau, Robert Herrick, Ray McNiece and Tongue-in-Groove, Edna St. Vincent Millay, William Carlos Williams, Ernest Hemingway, Plato, Emily Dickinson, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Irving Berlin, Carl Sandburg, Matthew Arnold, Gertrude Stein, and Abraham Lincoln. Visit the library at http://library.crisischronicles.com and explore using the category archives in the left side bar there. Or click here if you just want to see what's been added so far this month. Since the first anniversary of the Online Library isn't until June 18th, we've reached 600 earlier than orginally planned. So maybe we should aim for another random number... like 666... or 777.

Seriously, though, I need to get cracking on the Fuck Poetry periodical now - especially since my hard drive and printer issues are resolved. More information on that will be coming soon - but I'm very pleased with how it's turning out so far.

Peace and poetry,
John

    Well, congratulations, JC! I agree with Jen; I'm not shocked at all that they chose to feature you. Love the write-up (& I'm glad you chose "Karma Souptra" as your "call"-- I really like that poem)!
    
    John Burroughs at 8:37pm June 6
    
    Thanks, Dianne! I would have chosen "John Cage Engaged and Uncaged," but Michael asked for a poem under 30 lines.
