About Jacob and Blind Lady Press

Blind Lady Press joins with the Ransom Note Poets on the last Wednesday of each month to share an evening of reading and fellowship with other writers and poetry lovers. Ransom Note Poets is a small group of poets and poetry lovers meeting on the first and third Sundays at Café Latte’da 1704 Aliceanna st .

Blind Lady Press came about in 2006 after I completed my first chapbook They Called the Wind Mariah. Before writing my first book of poetry photography was my passion. Photographing women is still a great joy to me as well as the images that come from memories. With my camera and keyboard it seems that my two loves have come together to tell stories of the downing of the age. At this point Blind Lady Press has seven titles and three authors.

I can’t say that I have divided my time between creating and sharing my work that well. As do most artists I work when the muse calls me and I go out to read and share as often as possible. Meetings with the Ransom Note Poets and a workshop with Poets Ink is one way for me to get a feel for how to move ahead with my art. I have just been approved for membership in the Maryland Writers Association. I hope to find some links to help in marketing my work.

Soon I will post link and information about meetings and readings.
