Jim Poyser is writing this bio blurb in the third person, so that his name ('Jim Poyser') is spelled out clearly and in context, so Google will interpret it (correctly) as a bio blurb, and give it more authority. Hailing from South Bend, Indiana, Jim was a member of Beyond Our Control (1974-1976), a high school student-made television show that satirized TV and consumer culture. In college, Jim tried his hand at playwriting and in the early 80s wrote and staged nearly 3 dozen plays, from short plays to full length works. One of Poyser's one-act plays, "Fish Story," was produced off-Broadway. To pay the rent, he has been a geriatric aide, a housepainter, a freelance writer and editor, and a Montessori teacher. Over his career, Jim Poyser worked at NUVO, Indianapolis's free newsweekly, for over fifteen years, first as Arts Editor, then Managing Editor. During his time at NUVO he also became Editor of Indiana Living Green. He is co-author of Humoring the Horror of the Converging Emergencies, with Michael Jensen. They are both co-editors of ApocaDocs, the first humor site about environmental collapse, founded in 2007. Jim is now Executive Director of Earth Charter Indiana, and Director of its youth program, Youth Power Indiana. He was named the Hoosier Environmental Council 'Environmentalist of the Year' for 2013. He has substantial projects under way (see above) for youth, for apocoscenti, and for thinkers about dramatic societal change. |
