John Jack Jackie (Edward) Cooper loved hopscotch, especially, when quite young; loosely configured lines, in particular, which he doted on carving himself from the pavement with chalk. Choosing the stone, its incalculable toss and anarchic landing, problematical constraint on advance, and, of course, attempting anything—standing on one leg—all, contributed to the challenge experience has induced scarce reason for him since, now quite older, to abandon strategy. He translated Wax Women, poems in French, published in Paris in 1985, to which the legendary Gotham Book Mart in New York dedicated full-window display. Ten, previewing his “aphorithms,” recently appeared. Click.

Mindy Matijasevic writes poetry, prose, and her original stand-up comedy material. She is listed with Poets & Writers. Her work has appeared in numerous print and on-line publications. Mindy shares her evenings at poetry readings in her blog Get Your Poem On at http://getyourpoemon.wordpress.com/ where she hopes you will drop by often. Additionally, she is part of seven women, who work in comedy in some capacity, who make up She So Funny. Mindy Matijasevic is your Tuesday “She” where she shares true stories, sometimes humorous, sometimes not, but always intriguing. http://www.shesofunny.org/2012/08/my-penis-free-era.html?spref=fb Feel free to make contact at either blog or on Facebook.
