Featured Artist: Therese Young-Westby Belisle

We're proud to feature the writing of longtime JPiC member & forum Moderator Therese Young-Westby Belisle. Known throughout the JPiC Community as nomadicrhymer, Ms. Belisle hails from the small tropical country of Belize. Her writing career began with short stories in high school, which in turn blossomed to a more mature, intricate poetry styling. And though her love of the craft took a brief hiatus, as she married and raised a family, Therese never lost the sense of completeness poetry has brought to her life.

Therese's main interest lies in Spoken Word poetry. "It allows me to follow a random train of thought to wherever it leads me," she says speaking of her own work & writing process. "Although I am in love with traditional rhyming poetry, when I write it just takes on a life of its own. The rhyming goes out the window. At the start of a piece I am never sure where it will end up."

Therese presently resides in Claremont, CA where she works as an Executive Assistant in charge of IT and Marketing. As a very busy single mom she still finds time to make the occasional trip to Belize for visiting family and friends. Although she is not able to write as much as she would like now-a-days, she still serves the JPiC Community as constant inspiration, a writer to respect and emulate. She's dedicated to reading others' poetry and staying in tune with the written word.

Stay tuned because Ms. Belisle is planning a future, self-published compilation of her best writing. We at JPiC feel that if this piece "I Feel The Wind" is any indication, the collection is sure to be an absolute fabulous read, for as Ms. Belisle says, "Appreciation is in the ear of the reader." This reader (for one) finds a compelling voice which needs to be read. Find more of Therese's writing in the forums.

vBulletin.org Board of the Month

Congratulations are in order. JPiC Forum has won the first vBulletin.org BotM competition for 2011! We are super-excited that our new forum design has met the approval of fellow board Administrators.

The voting was extremely close, and as such, it's an honor in itself for JPiC to have been included in such esteemed company. But we took home the blue ribbon, having edged out the competition by 2 votes. Our new site design -- quite fondly dubbed JPiC 3.0 -- has been sculpted by JPiC Forum Webmistress & graphic designer, Jacquii Cooke.
