James Philip Kotsybar started the hypno-musical Versonics: The Verse That Can Happen which performed at L.A.'s Llhasa Club, Beyond Baroque Gallery and The Performing Arts Center, with recordings later broadcast on KCSB 91.9 FM in Santa Barbara. He merited publication in 2AM Magazine, Prophetic Voices, Poetic Justice, and various small press literary journals.
He founded and sponsored R.A.I.L. (Readers And Interested Listeners), which combined featured poets with open-mike readings and became a part of the Santa Barbara Poetry Festival. Invited back to KCSB radio to read his poetry on the programs The Art Of Peace and Music Soup, he continued as a regular monthly guest on Music Soup for a year.
Currently he is producing videos of his poetry for the Santa Barbara Television Channels (Channels 17 & 21) and website (sbchannels.net).
He co-owns Chaotic Exotics orchid nursery where he breeds his own orchids for sale, and is an accredited judge for the American Orchid Society.
From humblest manger beginnings, He
grew a wit to teach the Temple’s teachers,
but in His age, the sad reality:
The world was rife with prophets and preachers.
He was a novelty, a prodigy -
received as well then as such are today -
childlike, unsettling ‘Od’ity
and Upstart Who crossed all class boundary.
Until He was grown, this carpenter’s Son
won no followers, had no fun or friends,
seemed consigned to the same oblivion
as other prophets who met quiet ends.
But His public career got launched just fine,
since His first miracle was making wine.
Cheers! and a Happy New Year!
