Announcing the Ten Percent Project
Ten percent of all income from purchases made at Adam will be split between two of our favorite charities: Heifer International, which provides gifts of livestock and plants, as well as education in sustainable agriculture, to financially-disadvantaged families around the world; and Namaste Direct, which funds small loans to first-time borrowers, primarily women, in some of the more marginalized communities in Central America. These loans are used to create or augment a small business such that the borrower can reach economic self-sufficiency for herself and her family.
Who is this Adamus person, anyway?
Adam Byrn Tritt, M.Ed., C.H., is a poet, an essayist, a screenwriter, a teacher, a shaman, a social activist, a humorist, and (according to friends) a mensch.
In his first book, Tellstones: Runic Divination in the Welsh Tradition, Tritt reconstructed a modern form of an obscure and ancient tool which, he says, is “more socially acceptable than augury with animal entrails, and quite a bit less messy.” His new book, The Phoenix and the Dragon: Poems of the Alchemical Transformation, was written as an attempt at tidiness.
Tritt—"Adamus"—is an award-winning poet whose work has appeared in a number of books and magazines you’ve never heard of, and is well known for numerous children’s works you haven’t read. He’s a frequent guest in elementary school classrooms where he can be found surrounded by children begging him to read Bud the Spud just one more time.
He was so self-conscious after his first attempt at a poetry reading that he next read his work at a clothing-optional fundraiser. (“Once you’ve read your own poetry in public, naked, you have nothing else to fear.”)
Tritt has a bunch of academic degrees, lots of initials after his name, manages to hold a responsible job teaching your children (with his clothes on), and lives in Palm Bay, Florida, with his wife, daughter, son, and a ridiculously large alligator, all under a very big tree.
The "Get Adamus into Wikipedia" Contest
You can't put yourself in Wikipedia. But others can. If you think he deserves a mention, would you like to write a nifty little article and help spread the word about him? Here is a piece on contributing new articles to Wikipedia. Get him a mention and you'll win a free copy of everything Adam has produced to date (books, notecards, PoetryPosters, the whole shebang)!
