SYNOPSIS:
Our first ever Poet in Residence, Jesse, will explore aspects of poetry which have given him 'Faith In a Variety of Experience'. During his first five years as a Reno/Sparks resident he has been a showcase performer, a Slam Poetry contestant, judge, scorekeeper, board member, a special event host, and principal photographer for The Spoken Views Collective. He has also been a community activist, a two time judge for the national competition 'Poetry Out Loud', a two time photographer for the Nevada Humanities Literary Crawl, and a two time Forte Award Winner.

This will be the fifth poetry show Jesse has hosted at Brüka Theatre and the release of his first chapbook, 'FIVE', is set to coincide with Brüka's New Works Festival.
