Nostrovia! Poetry
I am currently being re-wired & settling in Tucson, Arizona, where I will be hosting events & continuing to provide the underground's underground literary sunlight. Passionate Living > Making a Living.
Nostrovia!n Goals
- Provide traveling & vagabonds an outlet for their passions
- Using art & creative thinking to encourage Passionate Living > Making a Living
- Learn to play the trumpet
- Fertilizing collaboration between author & publisher
- Organize community. We cannot allow the communities to be buried.
How we accomplish them:
Rather than worship the past, I am using the past to build upon the present to write a future.
Blogging, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, all of these are places to bring poetry to new levels and trespass borders in art. We do not need prestigious publication and reviews to push our creativity and artistic inclinations forward.
I was born out of the dreams of a 15 year old kid in New Hampshire.
Skill share workshops, events, traveling bookstores, street performing, there is a wide diversity of expressions that I employ to promote Passionate Living and provide community for artists and writers to connect.

It is Art because it is alive. It proves that, if you and I are to create at all, we must create with today and let all the Art schools and Medicis in the universe go hang themselves with yesterday’s rope. It teaches us that we have made a profound error in trying to learn Art, since whatever Art stands for is whatever cannot be learned... Look into yourself, reader; for you must find Art there, if at all.
from e.e. cummings, The Agony of the Artist (with a Capital A)
Poetry kicked me in the balls.
Passion & Happiness
We want YOU to say "HEY! I AM EXCITED TO BE ALIVE! I AM NOT AFRAID TO MAKE SACRIFICES TO ACCOMPLISH MY DREAMS!".
Want to be rebel? Make someone smile. Buy a coffee for the man sitting out in the cold with his spange jar. Help someone who has fallen up, physically or emotionally. Practice empathic listening.
Beware Human Spirit activists and those wishing to better Man. Love like sunrise pipe smoke, educate yourself, learn about the manipulation of you and how to manipulate others. "Why riot?" "Why not?"
Do what you love, cut yourself open. Be willing to cut yourself open for what you love, otherwise your dreams play wayside to the conveniently provided distractions and masturbatory stimulus consistently available.

What does nostrovia mean?
"Nostrovia" is an English mispronunciation of the Russian word "Na Zdorovie" (Naz-dro-vyeh). Na Zdorovie is commonly thought to be a drinking toast, but if you were in a bar full of native Russians and used Na Zdorovie as a toast, they'd laugh at your ignorance.
Na Zdorovie translates to "You are welcome". At some point in the process of this words abduction into the United States, the original definition was misplaced.
Nostrovia is generally now used as slang for "let's get drunk", "let's drink", or "cheers".
