Born on Tuesday August 30th, 1988 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Jonathan Celestin was before last among 16 siblings of Anne Marie Tassy Celestin and Lucien Andre Celestin. As a reclusive child, he spent most of his time writing his thoughts. He wrote stories, short poems, and "love letters" for girls he thought he loved. He attended Catholic schools until he was 12, then moved to Stone Mountain, GA. Though barely spoke English, he graduated from Stephenson High School in the top ten percent of his class. He then attended Georgia State University, where he majored in Computer Science. What he may lack in self-confidence he often make up for in skill-developing expertise, practical knowledge, and be proficiency in specialized area, like writing.

What he may lack in self-confidence he often make up for in skill-developing expertise, practical knowledge, and be proficiency in specialized area, like writing.

After moving to the U.S, Jonathan, also known as Subliminal Poet, started writing again with his first poem "My Angel." Ever since, He has kept track of his works; including poetry, short stories, and quotations. Jonathan is diffident and humble, preferring to observe life from a distance. He has a sharp analytical and subliminal mindset. He is extremely critical about details or things most would consider to be petty. Although very conscientious and conservative, he is reliable, efficient and thorough in his work.

Most of his friend would describe him as different. As you read his work, keep an open mind. Jonathan is very open minded and always willing to try something a bit different. Bringing something new to the table, Jonathan has his own way of writing. He always has different ideas and state of mind. As a very self-critical individual, Jonathan tends to focus on flaws, with desires to improve to perfection or just as near. Though very factual and honest in his self-estimation, Jonathan hasn't give himself the credit and praise that he deserves. He always serves as a mediator among oppositions, never really tries to take sides unless it's something that he is utterly passionate and know the truth about. Last but not least, Jonathan finds it very important to know what he is doing at all time and how far he should go.

Finding the "RIGHT" person

It's funny how we're all looking for that special someone;
a decent/trustworthy/great man/woman. That one person
you can always talk to, rely on, that got your back.
But we failed to look for that upon ourselves. We failed to
look at ourselves and ask these questions; Am I a good
man/woman? Am I Trustworthy? Do iiiii have these qualities
that I'm looking for in another person? Are we that person
that w Read more of this blog post »

Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!)

If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
