Everybody’s got that one dream! You know...'C’mon lotto'... or 'If I ever get rich and famous' kinda dream.Here’s mine...I’ve always wanted to own this big ol’ Victorian house, with the wrap around porch and the rotunda! Inside would be practice rooms, a recording studio, and a great room that would have built in bookshelves filled with books on poets, and musicians, and music. In another large room would be a stage for poetry readings and acoustic nights and such.A non-profit creative arts school! FREELANCE & FREEDOM PERFORMING ARTS!The cost would be on a sliding scale for most and free to those who don’t have the means to pursue their creative art in music. It would be an environment that would provide music lessons and/or explore creativity and dreams in music.I’ve wanted to do this ever since I saw the movie Billy Jack! The character Jean ran a school where creativity was key to finding yourself and also a place providing a human service. That was when I first put creative arts providing a human service together!I have worked in human service related jobs for over twenty years. I have been writing since childhood and loved music since birth. So in addition to 'C’mon lotto'...'If I ever get rich and famous'...have you ever heard anyone say...'Someday I’m gonna write a book!'Working a job where I could use my creativity was always my first choice, but, like so many other people I was pushed to get a 'real job'. So I pondered...and I thought...what if I write a book?It would give me personal satisfaction and pride...’real riches don’t have dollar signs’...and if it did make a few bucks, I could donate ’money’ to a human service cause!Creative art providing a human service!Livin’ the dream...Now isn’t that just poetic justice?

    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

    Edward V Bonner
