“John “Survivor” Blake enters a place in his writing that few others I know dare to. With pristine voice of epic magnitude, his words pull the reader or listener into a heart of raw, fragmented truth of unshakeable power." -Carlos Andres Gomez-

John Survivor Blake is about to embark on college (again). I'm taking care of old tax papers and trying to figure out if I can really do this. My workshop peeps are getting too damn smart and I can't simply pass on the wisdom I've gotten from veteran poets. I'm going to have to LEARN so ish... It's time for school

John Survivor Blake I don't know if you're even READY for this much stage and page, BUT I'll give you this one chance. I was asked to feature in Los Angeles for Rafael Fransisco and agreed. He then asked ME who I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THE STAGE WITH, and these were MY PICS! So, you KNOW there will be NO SLOUCHES. Ashaki Jackon won my heart ...at her feature two years ago at Louder Arts. Nikki Blak amazed me on my first trip to LA, and Douglas Kearney has been a dream to share a stage with! THIS SHOW will be one of the greatest; since Fresno with Suheir and Saul, since NYC with Patricia Smith, since Bowery with Tara Betts and Amiri, since my first smile from RAC! If you live in Los Angeles (or its bordering states) or nearby couties, DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW if you love poetry!
Nikki Blak, Ashaki Jackson, Douglas Kearney, and John "Survivor" Blake

John Survivor Blake What happens when you unleash poetry around the Berkeley campus? THIS! Buwuhuhahahahaaaa! Politics, sexism, racism, addiction; nothing taboo when I hit that stage! We're about to disrupt everything we can in the lives of day to day-walkers! More of an honor for me than you can imagine. Throw in a 2-round slam and what ...we got here is FAILURE to pontificate! See you soon, slamily!
