A texas poet Offering A Literary escape
As a poet and seventh-generation Texan, Jason draws inspiration from a lifetime of colorful characters and Southern charm, exploring themes of wanderlust, nostalgia, and the extraordinary in everyday life. Passionate about Latin America, he sometimes features its people, places, and events in these works. His poems have been featured in anthologies, books, newspapers, magazines, and even at international literary festivals across Central and South America. Besides poetry, Jason has a diverse entrepreneurial background in tech, publishing, PR, and songwriter advocacy.
What others are saying
“I discovered your poetry yesterday, and its edginess and soulful paths are going to contribute to keeping me on the path to stay alive ... your poems have reminded me of why I need to be here. I write to you from a remote desert wilderness, where I am camping through the winter. Thank you, Jason, for the gift of your poetry.”
I appreciate the opportunity to share my poetry with the world. However, I've deliberately chosen to offer only a few poems for public consumption. This decision is driven by my desire to preserve the special nature of each piece, fostering a more intimate connection between poet and reader. For those who wish to delve deeper into my poetry and enjoy full access to my body of work, I invite you to join as a paid subscriber here or become either a free or paid subscribe to my Substack for weekly poetry delivered to your inbox.
