About Me |
|
| Larry Jaffe Bio From the romantic to humor and social commentary, Jaffe impacts audiences with a rich emotional range, masterfully crafted. His poetry appears in numerous publications as well as the Internet where he is considered an artistic pioneer. Jaffe has been featured in a variety of poetry venues and festivals both throughout the U.S. and abroad and has read his work in such distinguished locations as the Japanese American Museum, the Hammer Museum, the Museum of Tolerance, the Jewish Museum and the Museum of Literature in Prague and the Dylan Thomas Centre in Wales. Jaffe’s dynamic work integrates a strong sense of humor along with his tough stand on human rights and freedom. The former poet-in-residence at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage, Jaffe has been hosting and curating poetry readings for several years while also co-founding Poetix Poetry Magazine (a guide to Southern California Poetry). Additionally, Jaffe was a featured poet for Daimler/Chrysler’s Spirit in the Words poetry program. He is the co-founder of Poets for Peace (now Poets for Human Rights) and spearheaded along with Rattapalax Publisher Ram Devineni the United Nations Dialogue among Civilizations through Poetry project which incorporated hundreds of readings in hundreds of cities globally using the aesthetic power of poetry to bring understanding to the world. For his entire professional career Larry Jaffe has been using his art to promote human rights and to reward this commitment was recently appointed Poet Laureate for Youth for Human Rights (www.youthforhumanrights.org). He was the recent recipient of the Saint Hill Art Festival’s Lifetime of Creativity Award, the first time given to a poet. www.lgjaffe.com CLICK HERE TO GET A PRE-MADE MYSPACE LAYOUT |

Music:Member Since: 2/9/2006Band Website: lgjaffe.com Band Members: UNPROTECTED POETRY CATTLE CAR Dedicated to the Jewish Warring Organization who struggled against tyranny and put up great resistance. "In addition to the harm the warriors wanted to inflict on the enemy they wanted to show the world that in spite of their isolation the Jews resisted the Nazi murder machine. It was important to show that the Jews did not go like lambs to the slaughter. In Poland the history of this event was recorded as a rebellion act executed by the Gwardia Ludowa… Jewish warriors were not mentioned even once in spite of the fact that not even one Pole participated. The Germans also contributed to the historical distortion by never admitting in public to the Jewish rebellion." Influences: Leonard Cohen L. Ron Hubbard Langston Hughes Robert Johnson Pablo Neruda Octavio Paz Type of Label: Indie |
