Poetic Shutterbug

Daginne Aignende was a beautiful soul poet and artist who walked this earth with a gentle and caring heart.  She loved my cockatiel Sammers and created these digital art pieces of him with my photographs for me.  I will forever treasure these .  Rest with the angels my dear Daginne.

Stanzaic Stylings  Pro Bono Consulting Services Mentoring and Coaching Reading and Writing Prompts Poetry Review Self Publishing Guidance Poetry Submission Guide Inspiration and Motivation Background:  Stanzaic Stylings is the ezine version of Ya'Sou! Magazine A Celebration of Life which was a tribute to my late Mom who always supported and encouraged my writing. I have been writing for over 50 years and have accomplished all I've wanted to accomplish with my writing including many credits, awards and books.  Now, its time for me to give back to the poetry community by offering my knowledge and experience to any poet out there who needs help with their writing.  As a result, I have decided to launch my own "poet to poet" consulting services, pro bono, to anyone who may need help.All you need to do is email me at jmcojo@gmail.com with your inquiries and I will respond within 24 hours.
