It's the last Tuesday of the month and you know what that means......Feature Time!!!!!This month's feature will be none other than Josephus Thompson III,a poet from Greensboro.
With the mind of an engineer, the voice of a poet and the heart and soul of a visionary, Josephus III is constantly transcending barriers. As a visual artist his work has been displayed on billboards as well as on a line of prints entitled Mental Messages. As a performance artist he displays his works and talents in museums, galleries, universities, corporate settings and stage productions just to name a few. As a teacher and lecturer he works in both the educational and corporate setting focusing on “Education through Correlation”, as well as showing students the importance of writing and poetry and how it directly relates to their life.
He is also a columnist for The GoTriad and was the co-host for 97.1WQMG’s Poetry Cafe. In addition his words have been featured on greeting cards and several other collaborative works, including a quilted piece by Jacqueline Hughes Mooney for President Bill Clinton in 2005. To add to his accomplishments he was selected to perform with an ensemble of poets for Oprah Winfrey at Bennett College in 2006. Fusing poetry and art with passion and purpose Josephus III released a CD entitled, “Miracles, Acoustic Soul Poetry” that same year, which was a blend of spoken word poetry, acoustic melodies and soulful vocals. He is currently touring his latest work “One Thing” as a stage production and has created another CD as well as a DVD and tee-shirt line called “Definitions” to accompany the production. His first book is soon to follow.
