Jerry Garcia is a native of Los Angeles, California who is too old to have been named after The Grateful
Dead guitar hero. Besides, his parents weren’t that hip. He spent his childhood fearing “the bomb” and was
a teenager during the “Summer of Love.” He studied Communication Arts at Loyola Marymount University
during the Watergate Era and became a film editor the year Annie Hall won the Oscar for Best Picture. He
has produced and edited television commercials, documentaries and industrial films. His interest in poetry
resurfaced in the 1990’s when he attended classes in the Writer’s Program at UCLA. Jerry lives by the motto
“need something done, ask a busy person” and a philosophy of “don’t run when you can walk, don’t walk
when you can stand and don’t stand when you can sit.” He has been published in various journals and 'zines
including Lit Rap Anthology, The November 3rd Club Journal, Lily: Literary Review. He has been featured
reader at several Los Angeles Poetry venues including Beyond Baroque, Rhapsodomancy, Literati Cocktail
and 2nd Fridays in Eagle Rock.
