In this episode Stephanie and Rainier feature the amazing Jeremy Hickson. This segment expounds on selected poetry by featured guests, extending a warm welcome to our featured guest this week, the talented and affable Jeremy Hickson (IG: @jack_val_trades)
The stage/pen name “Jack Val Trades” is inspired by the idea that, as a creative being, this artist is a Jack of all trades… master of some. The writer within is Jeremy Hickson. Jeremy’s work reaches at once backwards as roots, and forwards as canopy. It ranges from the metaphysical to the very physical; diversity rings out — an anthem.
Jeremy holds a BA from Rutgers University, where he double majored in English and Sociology.
In many of Jeremy’s poems, glimpses of the old masters can be gleaned, as well as influences from his present day poetic peers. A heartfelt thank you to all who hold space, and who carry a torch to contrast the darkness.
