Jim Moreno is a member of San Diego's Langston Hughes Poetry Circle and a past board
member of the African American Writers & Artists. He teaches poetry workshops for gang youth in lockups, children
in afterschool programs, and adults who are beginning or practiced poets.
Moreno has been published in City Works, The Langston Hughes Poetry Anthology,
The Magee Park Poets Anthology, the poetry conspiracy, Tidepools, and others. He performs with The Three Deuces, a jazz
trumpet, dance, and spoken word ensemble with Mitch Manker and Michael Tompkins. He was the director of the Encanto
Boys and Girls Club Children's Poetry Choir from September of 2004 to June of 2009.
Moreno is currently initiating a poetry workshop afterschool program at the Queen Bee Art & Cultural Center in the
North Park section of San Diego, California entitled "Bullets Outta Guns". Jim believes that when adults provide
afterschool art or sports programs and 10 children show up, 20 bullets are removed from guns: 10 bullets
from police revolvers and 10 more from gang guns.
