Hi Punany Poets,
I love your work. Since I first saw the show on HBO, I started looking more intensely at myself as a woman worthy of sexual satisfaction mentally, emotionally, and physically. I have a whole new sense of pride in my own pussy and if I am to be referred to as a "freak" because I do seek total sexual satisfaction; then I'll be just that without shame and question. Thank you for opening the Pandora Box of my life!!

Hi Jess, I met you tonight in Delaware, dark skinned sista, long black hair, soft turquoise sweater, Rae, so sorry I had to rush off, kids were with a baby sitter. Anyway, I have been wanting to attend one of your shows and be mentally stimulated for a long time .....and was truly pleased. I am from Trinidad, and we didnt have video games etc growing up so poetry and art is my outlet, I would love to share some of my work with you; as if you are not totally saturated with your own penetrating words. I wish you blessings and prosperity thanks for the good show and trust......... I will be in touch.... I have attached a pic of myself....... XOXOXRAE69

Dear Jessica,
Ok well WOW! My sister is a big fan of yours and has attended a couple of your shows in the D.C. area.. When I told her that I was going to
finally see you she was like YOU WILL LOVE IT. I am beyond pleased that I was not disappointed. My friends and I are having a slight argument on
why you picked me of all people to come on stage.. The consensus from the ladies was that at some point while prepping for your show you must
have over heard our conversation. We were having a detailed conversation on what women are doing wrong with their men in the bedroom and how
to fix it. As I think you later figured out I was the GAY best friend of the young lady ... (blue jean gouchos) that you initially bought on
stage. Either way I had a really good time, being honest though I did hold out one of my oral secrets... I saved that for dinner with the
ladies after the show.. I must admit I enjoy your work and look forward to purchasing the Verbal Penetration book when it hits stores.. In
the meantime feel free to hit me up if you get a chance in your busy schedule it would be great to speak wit you.. Enjoy Atlanta and try not
to get to Happy while you are down there...
Yours truly,
Charlie

I want you to know that the show on Friday was an Absolute STIMULATION of Mind Body and soul...You guys should be shining on Broadway...I am sure NEW YORK would love you. I also took your advise and LOOKED IN THE MIRROR TODAY....and found myself so BEAUTIFUL...I was'nt seeing my true beauty for a long time until I took a real good look into my mirror... your words inspired me to see beyond my complex and insecurities....and I want to thank you for that.....MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS ALL YOUR CREW....KINO AND SLAM WERE AWESOME and how can we forget Mrs LIL..........."

Wuts up my beautiful red headed sistah,
You got my husband twisted and in love n shit. I dragged him see the Head Doctor maybe 2 years ago, and he has been open ever since. But me and my homegirls are trying to holla at yall for hedonism, should be "interesting".
Before you guys came along, I thought I was a straight up freak and i used to keep my shit on the low. I used to write shit in high school and my best friend told me that i needed help. I probably do but I see that i'm not alone. lol.............. My craft is not as exotic and beautiful as the Punany Poets, it's just plain ignorant, but that's me, lol.
Anyway, thanks for being straight up freaks like me.
Peace

Great Show
I attended your show in Oakland, Ca for the first time this past December. I wanted to let you know the show was everything I was told it would be. I had talked with you before the show, but didn't realize who you were until the show started. My bad! I'm sending you a friend request, with hopes to stay informed of your next show, at home in the Bay Area.
Thank you

RE: Twisted in my bed
Body: hey Jessica, i enjoyed the performance last night...you sat at my booth when one of the female poets did a cameo appearnce talking about the "black dick"...lol...you know who i'm talking about but i didn't even get a chance to speak to you, then i waited after the show so you could sign my book but you were detained in the back and i had to go but i had a good time anyway...maybe in the future i will see you again MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and keep doing what you're doing....p.s....i was there with a date but i must admit you were turning me on all night....lol....you always tell the truth and that's what i'm doing...even though i know you're partial to black men..but remember my puertorican ancestors and your african ancestors were picking cotton and sugar cane on the island of puerto rico way centuries ago thanks to Ponce de Leon...so you see we're all from the same oppression.....god bless
Mrs. Holter,
Let me tell you that I loved your show in DC on Valentines day. It was one of the most sexually invigorating, thought provoking, intelligent and energy filled shows I've ever seen. I look forward to seeing the next show!!
I hope to see another show very soon Thanx for a great time

GGB,
I attended your show on 2/17 at 8:00 p.m. I want to thank you for a wonderful experience. I needed this. I was the women who was called up on stage in the blue leather outfit. I have never extended myself in such a way before. I have been caught up in an 11 year relationship and am exploring my sexuality and seeing for the first time what is really out there. I am greatful to you for opening up a door to my sexual curosity. I have been with women since i was 16. In relationship after relationship, relationships with women and men. This past relationship was very closed minded and I had to go to fantasy a lot. I have been single for 1 year and am ready to explore. I would like to keep in touch. I also look forward to attending another show in the future.
By the way did your meeting go well today (Monday) i think you said your were meeting with a potential sponsor. I hope all went well.
I really enjoyed your show.
Thank you again for the experience of a life time. I will never forget.

Poetry Never “Felt” So Good
By Soulfull
Founded by Jessica Holter in 1995, The Punany Poets have been on a mission to educate and entertain people with their exotic form of “cabaret-styled poetry, music and dance production”.
On a small stage decorated with chains and whips, Jessica, better known as Ghetto Girl Blue and founder of The Punany Poets, welcomes all to Black Lovers & Little White Lies, the first Valentines’ Day show in Washington DC. Wearing a flattering hot pink and black corset accented with fishnet stockings and stiletto heels, she peeks from below the brim of her black top hat which covers her crown of reddish-brown coils and asks, “How many of you haven’t experienced Punany before?” Timidly, several people raise their hands. “This is gonna be a good show,” she purrs. From then on, Ghetto Girl Blue (GGB) presented a dueling conversation about sex, love, and relationships together with the ever so handsome rock poet, Keno Mapp, author of the inspirational poetry book Senseless Murder, and fellow poet, Mis.Little, a multi-disciplined dancer/choreographer, who had a strikingly effortless way of intertwining the beautiful art of nudity with provocative dance.
Throughout the show, they touched on topics, such as condom use and masturbation, with GGB sharing the wonders of discovering how to love herself with her best bud the Rabbit, as well as performing “Black Love”, and the infamous performance piece “The Head Doctor”, in which selected audience members are allowed to receive “head” from the “doctor”. Definitely a treat for the eyes, mind, and body! The evening was full of romance, laughter, and interestingly enough, seriousness. Keno Mapp invoked women to remember the simple joy of having our men return home to us, stating, “There are so many things that can prevent him from returning to you”. Additionally, he spoke on the first love of his life, his mother, reading the poem, Mommie, sharing with us the important role of mothers to men. While GGB asked us not to deny the beauty of our female form, regardless of worldly standards, remarking that, “We are… just beautiful”, Mis.Little was on stage moving to the rhythm, making the audience of mostly virgin Punany attendees, including me, feel amazingly comfortable with her nakedness.
In a world full of misogynistic music and p-poppin’, sometimes love can get kicked to the curb for the quickness of lust; however The Punany Poets reminded us to relish in the easy beauty of our black bodies, our black kinship, and our black love. I was pleased by the candor and respect these artists brought to every subject matter and at midnight, everyone exited The Crucible feeling more in sync with love than ever before. Thanks to The Punany Poets, Valentines’ Day will not exist synonymously alongside a date, but reveled in day after day as a result of their warmhearted, yet spicy celebration of bona fide black love.
I would love to hear your comments and/or stories/experiences with The Punany Poets! Hit me back at anemergingstar@soulfulsynergy.com.

Hello GGB,
As a fellow poet, I applaude you and your legacy that you have set for present and future poets.
I read your bio and was speechless and blissful. As a woman, I am also a "victor" from abuse and tribulations in my upbringing. I am presently working on an erotic poem series and developing an intereactive adult website.It has proven to to be therapeutic and inspiring giving me a venue to "rebirth".
I live in the Tidewater area of Virginia("Seven Cities") and would love for you to come and perform in our arenas..
When will you grace our area with your presence as well as your beauty(smile)?
I've seen you on the HBO series as well as a DVD and I was entranced..
Please keep me informed.. Take care GGB.Jah Bless.
