WHEN JUSTICE FAILS BUT THE PEN PREVAILS: with TERRI JENTZ, JOHN POMPOSELLO, and MARINA BORAWICK
Spend an evening with authors relating truth-is-stranger-than-fiction stories about felons among us, from that handsome boy next door, to cops, even the judge! TERRI JENTZ is author of Strange Piece of Paradise, 2006 finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, an LA Times Book Award, and Edgar Allan Poe Award in mystery writing. The book investigates an unsolved attempted murder against her and her Yale roommate in the Oregon desert in 1977. Her story will be part of a PBS Frontline documentary, Forgiveness this summer. Former NYPD officer JOHN POMPOSELLO has received 20 medals including the Medal of Valor. As an undercover cop in harm’s way, he fought the drug trade, organized crime, and bodyguarded Presidents. His favorite? “Getting mugged for a living." JP’s memoir is The Inner Shield. MARINA BORAWICK is daughter of a judge, an attorney, and is finishing a memoir of the American dream become nightmare amidst an upscale suburban minefield of deception, sadism and devilry, the latter in high places. Both Pomposello and Borawick are alumnae of Beyond Baroque’s non-fiction and poetry workshops (Pomposello facilitated the Tuesday Creative Fiction workshop for several years). Borawick has devoted the last decade to transforming the Center’s grounds. Anyone remember when the front garden was six dead rose bushes and the backyard lifeless? Justice is slow but sure!

Frances Elizabeth Dean Smith, aka francEyE
1922 - 2009

Poet. Muse. Activist. Precocious Child. WWII Vet. Beauty. Mother. 20
Workshop Co-Founder. Citizen. Christian. Timekeeper. Bus Rider.
Grandmother. Venice Beat. Choir Singer. Rabblerouser. Visionary.
Survivor. Lover of French Fries. Great-Grandmother. Reader. Listener.
Advisor. Crone. Goddess. Companion. Snaggletooth. Our Bearded Witch of Ocean Park. Beloved. Friend. francEyE.
                                   – Amelie Frank

francEyE was born March 19, 1922 as Frances Elizabeth Dean in San Rafael, Ca. Feared, respected, and loved for her uncompromising honesty, she was one of the most avid supporters of poets and poetry I have ever known, her tenure as a Southern California poetry legend dating back to at least the early 1960s. With no car of her own, francEyE would somehow manage to get herself to all parts of Southern California where one would usually find her eagerly waiting front row, beaming like a child waiting for Christmas. Widely anthologized, she had three books
of poetry and one book of short stories published during her lifetime,
Snaggletooth in Ocean Park (1996 Sacred Beverage), Amber Spider (2004 Pearl), Grandma Stories (Short stories, 2008 Conflux) and her last
book, Call (2008 Rose of Sharon). A mother, grandmother, and great
grandmother, francEyE served in the U.S. Army during WWII and was
active on many political fronts. In 2004 she was honored with the
Church in Ocean Park’s Communitas Award. francEyE was a pacifist who believed poetry had the ability to change people: “My job is
to be myself and encourage people to be themselves. Things aren’t going to change until people change, one person at a time.” Dedicated to the muse her entire life, she went out singing, writing wonderful, solid
verse until only a few weeks before her death on June 2, 2009.
                                   - S.A. Griffin

One for Old Snaggle-Tooth
I know a woman
who keeps buying puzzles
chinese
puzzles
blocks
wires
pieces that finally fit
into some order.
she works it out
mathematically
she solves all her
puzzles
lives down by the sea
puts sugar out for the ants
and believes
ultimately
in a better world.
her hair is white
she seldom combs it
her teeth are snaggled
and she wears loose shapeless
coveralls over a body most
women would wish they had.
for many years she irritated me
with what I considered her
eccentricities---
like soaking eggshells in water
(to feed the plants so that
they'd get calcium).
but finally when I think of her
life
and compare it to other lives
more dazzling, original
and beautiful
I realize that she has hurt fewer
people than anybody I know
(and by hurt I simply mean hurt).
she has had some terrible times,
times when maybe I should have
helped her more
for she is the mother of my only
child
and we were once great lovers,
but she has come through
like I said
she has hurt fewer people than
anybody I know,
and if you look at it
like that,
well,
she has created a better world.
she has won.

Frances, this poem is for
you.
