Jon Sands

In his first year of competition Jon Sands captured a slot on the LouderARTS New York City poetry slam team, the youngest person ever to do so; then was a finalist at the National Poetry Slam in Austin, TX. Sands has toured throughout North America performing and conducting workshops from university theatres to Manhattan needle exchange centers. He has been called “a baby-faced cyclone, a wild twister of poet who isn't afraid to use everything he's got to move an audience, to absolutely blow them away.” He is perpetually attempting to discover what makes the sloppy muscle inside our ribs tick into such a beautiful mess.
