searching through fingertips to find a better world, not quite able to make out the shape, but i swear, it's on the front of our tongues right now, escaping in the form of noisemakers, shaking ourselves vulnerable, smacking chips on tables without fully understanding the card in our hands. I am a generation attempting to conceive a living and a difference in the same breath. Cracked pots, forever glued back together, wearing inexperience in a nametag that someday, if we're lucky, might say... "solution"

When I speak of myself well, and in the third person, it tends to sound a bit like this...Jon Sands is a poet living in New York City. In his first year of slam competition he was a member of the LouderARTS New York City poetry slam team, the youngest person ever to do so. Subsequently, he earned position as a finalist at the National Poetry Slam in Austin, TX. Jon has toured throughout North America performing and conducting workshops from university theatres, to dimly lit pubs, to Manhattan needle exchange centers. He is one-fourth of the nationally acclaimed electricity-fest, The SpillJoy Ensemble. He is also currently the Director of Poetry and Arts Education Programming at the Positive Health Project, a needle exchange center located in Midtown Manhattan. Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz, author of "Words In Your Face: A Guided Tour Through Twenty Years of the New York City Poetry Slam" said, “To witness the poetry of Jon Sands is to come face-to-face with a force of nature. He is a baby-faced cyclone, a wild twister of poet who isn't afraid to use everything he's got to move an audience, to absolutely blow them away.†Author of three chapbooks with JKpublishing, Jon is perpetually attempting to discover what makes the sloppy muscle inside our ribs tick into such a beautiful mess.
