So come on in, take a look at what's here / rest for a while in his shade /
follow his poetic dreams / take a walk in Steven's parade.

About C. Steven Blue's writing:
West Coast performance poet, C. Steven Blue, stands outside the normal conventions of modern poetry. He is a lyrical/performance poet; reading and performing his poetry from a unique rhythmic perspective:
at the crossroads of poetry and music.
Steven is the author of eight books of poetry and one memoir. He has enjoyed putting pen to paper since he was a boy. He is also a micro-press publisher, and for almost 30 years he has produced and hosted literary and arts events in both California and Oregon, giving countless opportunities to other creatives along the way.
Steven writes from his own life experiences: loss, betrayal, addiction, recovery, joy, and love. From his years of struggling to recover from abuse, alcoholism, drug addiction, and mental breakdown, Steven's perspective is a refreshing and inspiring journey, one of survival and overcoming adversity, discovering a renewed faith and hope in life, and a spiritual awakening that has given him the ability to live in the here and now.
We hope you will help support his continuing work by buying one of his books: HERE
