BIOGRAPHY

Jon Sands' poetry is a
genuine look into the mind of a moment wrapped up neatly into an anvil, then
dropped from a sixty story building. A Cincinnati native, Sands now resides in
New York City's legendary poetry scene where in his first year of slam
competition he captured a slot on the LouderARTS New York City poetry slam
team, the youngest person ever to do so; then, upshot through the nation as a
finalist at the National Poetry Slam in Austin, TX. A leader in the next
generation of poetic voices, Sands has toured throughout North America
performing and conducting workshops from university theatres, to dimly lit
pubs, to Manhattan
needle exchange centers.  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.” He has published two
chapbooks, “In its Own Imaginative Engine” and “Being Human Being” with
JKpublishing, as well as the forthcoming “I Got a Letter from Midtown.”  Jon is perpetually attempting to discover
what makes the sloppy muscle inside our ribs tick into such a beautiful mess.
