During the years he lived in Eugene, Oregon, Neske founded Spoken Buzz, a poetry performance group. Spoken Buzz has the distinction of being the first group to perform poetry on the main stage at Eugene's Saturday Market. When Spoken Buzz first formed they could be found busking on street corners and at local gatherings. The group soon went on to other performances at Hungry Head Books, The W.O.W. Hall, the Willamette Valley Folk Festival, the Art and the Vineyard Festival, the Ben Linder Room at the University of Oregon, and headlined at the Red Sky Poetry Theatre in Seattle - the longest continually operating open mic on the west coast.
Neske has performed solo at the fourth annual Allen Ginsberg Marathon in Auburn, WA; made a small guest appearance at the Seattle Poetry Festival; attended the 2001 National Poetry Slam in Seattle; and has performed at many local area poetry venues such as Foolscap Books, the Buzz Café, Chez Ray's North Beach, Sam Bond's Garage, Hungry Head Books, Tsunami Books-- as well as many other bookstores, coffee houses, street corners, and sidewalks. He has also taught poetry workshops and performed at Fools for the Earth, Youth Making Creative Acts, and the Youth Culture Camp sponsored by the Oregon Country Fair.
Neske now lives in the foothills of the Sierra-Nevada Mountains where he writes full time, and travels extensively to both perform his poetry and to attend a multitude of poetry events. He may be coming soon to a location near you.

neske on July 18, 2005I am writing, but I haven't been putting anything up on this site. I've visited it now and again, but overall I must confess I have not been paying much attention to it.
I've been doing a lot of travelling and a lot of work, and I do not see myself being much available until mid-september.
Thanks for your kind comments. -
Good friend of mine: no poems, no comments...nothing in so long. Have you lost your sight (or motivation)? Or are those words unsaid, to be left in abyss, only to be guessed, possibly missed (but how, if they never make it to the tip of lips...)
Of all, I looked forward to your words with high anticipation. Anyone can write, but so few (and should they not as well be titled, "lucky"), but so few, in fact, possessing the ability to manipulate the English language, controlling its world, and its outcome...you "lucky" devil you. -
Sandi Alford on March 25, 2005Good morning, I've noticed you've visited alot of my pages, and I wanted to say thank you for all the time you've spent reading my work. Reading through your bio page, I'm very impressed by your efforts and achievements, may you always follow your dreams
I've bookmarked your page so I can read more of your work as well after the weekend.
