In my writing, I try to describe situations in a Western
Mystic Zen anecdotal way, where I write about things that
seem to make no sense, but that through mystic
description, gain great significance. I attempt to give the
normally monotonous routines of life inner meaning. I also
add other religions into my poems or in the plots of my
novels. I include mystic Christian ideas too. I call this
Western Mysticism. I hope you enjoy my mystic poetry and
my mystic novel, and I hope you enjoy the San Francisco
poetry from its open mikes that I record from my podcast.
My audio collection of San Francisco Poetry is the largest
on the Internet. Please, when listening to authors on the
Internet who give away their works, don't treat them as
nameless entities who need no compensation. They are,
and I, am not a John Doe; I am John Rhodes. Above all, I
believe in the One and I hope you celebrate it by reading my
works and those of the poets on my podcast, “Mystic
Babylon”. Tell other people about my podcasts, my
MySpace page, and my books, even if you don’t buy my
works. Look at my works as a graphic description of Haight
Street poetry and writing as it exists today.

| A Mystic San Francisco Poetry Podcast Book, and Novel by John Rhodes: Christian, Zen Mystic. |
Please Note: I have just started a local TV show through Cable Access 29 in San Francisco. The specials will be run once a month, and as filler for 3 months. If you look here: http://accessf.org/guide/schedule/ every 2 days you will be able to see the re-runs that run once to 4 times weekly as filler. In the schedule the show is called: "Open Mic Poetry" I am the author, Rhodes, and I want to tell you on this web site about my mystic poetry book, “Spirits of Bondage and Inherent Transcendence”, which has been out since Oct. 2005 and also about a newly written novel of mine entitled, “Little Bird Told Me”, which just came out at the beginning of 2007, also in Podcast novel form.Poetry from my mystic poetry book is posted on this site, as well as on an open mike poetry podcast site of mine called Mystic Babylon, which is at: http://mysticbabylon.podomatic.com . It is of course an audio poetry podcast, as well as a video poetry podcast. If you are in San Francisco and want to be on my poetry podcast, email me. I am interested in almost all San Francisco Poetry, and I try to go to all its open mikes to get poets with their poems to read on my poetry podcast. My podcast novel, “Little Bird Told Me”, is a novel about a hippie couple in the 90's. It is sort of difficult to describe the plot without giving away the plot but some descriptive nouns that topically describe the plot are, homelessness, Tragedy and Triumph, mental illness, hip terrorists, kidnapping, ecological power companies run by hippies, true modern enlightenment, and psychedelic drugs. Besides being published in text form the hippie novel is in serial audio book form from another of my web sites at: http://littlebirdtoldme.podomatic.com , and is also for sale on iTunes and www.audible.com. Please consider buying the audio book if you decide on the listening version. If you don't have the money I have some sympathy for you not buying it, but at least consider trying to tell all your friends about it and get them to purchase it. It will be almost 4 dollars cheaper in text form if you buy it. |

| Below is a form for contacting John Rhodes to get a newsletter with poems from featured readers on his poetry podcast TV, interesting info about them, new podcast/TV shows, and anything of interest related to his productions and writings. Your email will not be sold or used for any other purpose! |
Listen to a love poem!
