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)

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

Do Dew

Half awake thoughts
Are often the clearest
Unclouded by day dreams
Day schemes
Day screams
Still cool
Gently coated with dew
Soon to be evaporated into
Do.

Giving this poem its due consideration, I do think it beats the doodoo out of other aubades I've read, and I am dewing in the heat of its glory. I really like it, JC! It's a perfect poem.

  Very kind of you to say, Dianne... believe it or not, I could not remember what an aubade was and had to Google it.

    Some sites have listed an "aubade" as a hymn to the morning, so that's what I was referring to-- not the lovers parting bit. So my word was not really on the mark-- but hey, I'm on medication.
