First Friday at Ong King Arts CenterTime and Place: Ong King Arts Center, 184 N. King St., HOnoLuLu..CHINAtown, Friday, January 4, 2008www.ongking.com tHE POET: Jon Sands' poetry is a genuine look into the mind of a moment wrapped up neatly into an anvil, then dropped from a sixty story building. An Ohio native, Sands now resides in New York City's legendary slam scene where in his first year of competition he captured a slot on the LouderARTS New York City slam team, then rip-roared his way through the national scene as a finalist at the 2007 National Poetry Slam in Austin, TX. A leading voice in the next generation of poetry, he has authored two chapbooks, In its Own Imaginative Engine (2006) and Being Human Being (2007). Blending youthful idealism with forceful passion and a drop of fire, Sands' work probes society and self in search of our most difficult answers.www.myspace.com/jonathansan
