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.
When fire, water, earth and air were thought
to be the elementals that composed
all matter, folks did not become distraught
at what avant-garde chemists then proposed.
Most understand that the Earth is a sphere
(with only one natural satellite);
no matter where folks sail they do not fear
they’ll reach the edge and fall into the night.
Most even have embraced that time’s not fixed
and have adopted relativity.
So why should folks’ beliefs remain so mixed
about evolution’s activity?
Abundant evidence supports this view,
yet institutions argue it’s not true.
