Hi Kate, I was just in BK last week Jay St/Borough Hall, Cobble Hill, and Brooklyn Heights with a friend. This all got started when I joined this group created by Amy. As a new member I was literally introducing myself to the group community and now it has spawned into a new member welcome within Poetry. We're all reaching out, sharing, and finding our way within the infinite sea of the internet universe and having some fun along the way :o) I posted a cine-poem under the video (poetry) section called "New York City Streets" which I invite you to check out. It is also on Youtube. Further work can be seen on my cyber abode http://www.jamesberkowitz.com Have a wonderful day.

Welcome. Not that I know what's going on. I'm new and/or inactive member for the most part, trying to dip my toes into the group waters, etc. So I hope you muddle through with equal if not more ease than I.

Hi Raul, cool to hear about the MC gig and event. Voices need to be heard. You've painted the image in my mind of your home and thank you for sharing.

Hi Robert and a warm welcome. I look forward to checking out your website and video. I love the fusion of the mediums as I see film as poetry and some of my favorite film directors share this perspective.I also have a cine-poem posted under video then poetry called "New York City Streets" which is also on Youtube.

Welcome, all! Thanks for posting info about yourselves! An interesting group...

Thanks Gabrielle,
Indeed, my roots are down there.
Love Goodreads and all the discussions.
Glad to be here.

Welcome, Raul. You must be from beautiful Mexico.

Hello all, I joined Goodreads about three weeks ago. I'm getting used to all the sections, groups etc. in the site. I live in the Northwest. Last night I MC'd a reading with group of Local Latino Poets under the theme "Day of the Dead, a Day of Remembrance" had about 50 people in the audience.
Here is my introduction to you;
I come from a place south where the sun shines fiercely, where corn grows, flanked by two mountain ranges the large valley within is known as Anahuac. Nestled between two oceans east and west. Now I live in a place surrounded by asphalt, cement, full of rushing cars and buses, coffee houses, fancy houses, empty houses. Where the seasons shine and hide in the winter months. Where rain falls, oh blessed rain.
Green mountains tall firs, pine and maple leaves fall. Snow mountain peaks jagged edges at the brake of sun, white powder clouds canvas where birds fly south to warmer places. My warm house full of books, laughter and celebration for the words, the words that call to be written, shaped into poems, however strong, raw, soft or coarse they called to be etched on paper, the only proof of my existence.

Thank you james for your comment. I will try and add some more over the time. Your comments are much appreciated.

You should have open access to checking out the cine-poem under the GR video section under poetry, on my website, as well as via You Tube.

As a new member of this group, let me say how happy I am to be with such talented company. Anyone out there doing poetry video? Please go to www.oldfamilymovies.com for two samples.

Thanks so much.

Hi Aria, welcome! I have poems posted on my website and a video called "New York City Streets" under poetry on Goodreads. Perhaps you may find some inspiration. Have a wonderful day.

Hi, everyone, I'm new here. Greetings from PA in the US of A. :)

I've written poetry before. Not a little, but almost a lot. So I'm hoping by joining someone can threaten/push/inspire me to sit on my butt and write more. I already posted some poems on my page.

Hello everyone and thanks to Amy King and Goodreads for a place to connect. I look forward to discovering, sharing, and being part of this group. I'm fascinated by the technological advances and social media opportunities presented to us in contemporary times. I posted a cine-poem called "New York City Streets" under the video section and more work is available via my website: http://www.jamesberkowitz.com
