JESSICA 'THE HEAD DOCTOR' HOLTER OF THE PUNANY POETS!The world was introduced to this erotic poet thru HBO's "Real Sex" series; a racy, informative show about all things sexual, erotic, romantic, freaky.  It was thru this show that I learned more about erotic poetry and that it is a most romantic tool for intimate communication between lovers. Jessica Holter began her journey into the world of erotic Spoken Word art in 1995 as the Founder and Organizer of the infamous Punany Poets.  Made up of a beautiful, ever changing array of tall, short, thin, thick, fair, and extra mocha cast, The Punany Poets take you on a journey that is funny, sexy, informative, romantic, and naughty.  It is a total Mindgasm of Sight, Touch, Sound, Words, Dance, Art, and Erotica.   But Jessica is far more than just an "erotic poet".  She is quite prolific in Spoken Word and is both an Author and Activist.  With her art stemming from a history of sexual abuse, Jessica has turned her pain into one of the most alluring yet informative sessions one can ever go to and learn about sex - and Safe Sex.  As an advocate for this, she is supported by a host of organizations including the YWCA who attend her shows and hand out information about safe sex, answer questions, give prizes based on what you remember about the education of the show and more. I am honored to sit down with this woman and hear her story: one that has now been the subject of dissertations on the collegiate level.  But make no mistake, this is a GROWN, Black, No Sugar, No Cream Show.

Her impromptu solo's have been some of the most watched on Youtube of all supporting vocalists, most notably her rendition of "Summertime" in the set with Lalah Hathaway in which you hear every high and low of her beautiful instrument in all of it's Glory.
