- Vintage Colorado Poetry <VintageColoradoPoetry.us> -
web site excerpts: "Vintage Colorado Poetry focuses on poets and poetry of the Centennial State, the Great Plains, and the Rocky Mountain West.... Vintage Colorado Poetry's initial focus is 19th and early 20th century verse. Poets include Eugene Field, Helen Hunt Jackson, Cy Warman, Harriet Wasson, to name just four of many. With time, my hope is to alternate newer weekly poems with older poems.... "Vintage Colorado Poetry" continues my interest in regionalism. During the mid-1990s, I edited two anthologies --- Where Past Meets Present: Modern Colorado Short Stories, 1994, and Vintage Colorado Short Stories, 1997, University Press of Colorado." - James B.

- Ed Ward, Poetry Host - One of Denver's most prolific and longstanding poetry hosts goes back decades on the local poet scene. This editor first encountered Ed at Faces Cafe (17th & Franklin in Denver) around 1986 if not as early as 1976 in Boulder. He has also published assorted literature and works of poets in his Passion Press locally. Then for many years Ed was hosting poetry open mic at the Mercury Cafe before turning it over to LA poet Tony Scibella, John Munson and others. Scibella died in 2004. Ed provided a nurturing vision toward all poets along with the good will and good spirit he has built so strongly in the Denver poet community, much like a driver at night not afraid to drive with the lights off, for a noble purpose. Like many of us, his presence on the poetry scene traces back to attendance of poetry readings hosted by Naropa School (now Naropa University) in Boulder where Ward discovered poet/underground publisher James Ryan Morris and others in performance. The Naropa poet scene was in turn largely generated by poets Anne Waldman and Allen Ginsberg who both lived in Boulder and New York. Ed is also a writer and painter. He sometimes writes under the nom de plume Edwin Forrest. Ed's wife Marcia Ward is a longtime commercial photographer at her Image Maker studio based at a Congress Park storefront where Ed works on Passion Press.
