Members of the King Middle School Writers Club With Steve Abee

The students from the Thomas Starr King Middle School Writers Club will be sharing their work with the world with author/teacher Steve Abee.  It is an inspiring evening of young poets and artists telling it like it is. Steve Abee was born in Santa Monica, California and began writing after high school when he held a job as an orderly at St. John’s Hospital. His mind started to unfold itself and he thought if he was going to save it he better start writing things down. “I saw the fragility and blessedness of lives and started to come apart in the wonderment of it all.” He is the  author of the new poetry collection, Great Balls of Flowers out now with Write Bloody books, and the upcoming novel Johnny Future with MacAdam/Cage; also he authored the Los Angeles underground classic The Bus: Cosmic Ejaculations of the Daily Mind in Transit (Phony Lid Books), and the  collection of short stories and poems King Planet (Incommunicado). He lives and teaches in Los Angeles. THIS EVENT WAS RECORDED LIVE AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS JUNE 9, 2010.
