Cheryl Townsend

I am a poet, avid photographer and the onetime publisher/editor of Impetus magazine, which I published through Implosion Press. Implosion Press now proudly publishes epitome magazine, a regional magazine that celebrates the arts, minds and ambitions of women in NE Ohio. I am the co-founder of the Womens Art Recognition Movement (W.A.R.M.), based in the North Water Street Gallery in Kent, OH and used to be the owner of cat’s Impetuous Books & stuff, also in Kent, where I specialized in small press books and held regular poetry readings, art exhibits and live musical performances. I don't like living in the past, but.. Hell, that's where the fun was.

In 2004, I played Jesus in the Award Winning indie film Jesus & Her Gospel of Yes, produced & directed with Al Eaker, which should be available on DVD soon.

Poet, Beau Blue, does some incredible poet animations and has added me to the stage. Give a watch/listen at http://www.cruziocafe.com/Townsend_cupofcoffee020409-130p_final.htm
