This is me with Buck the Wonderhorse. I performed with him for over 7 years, for people all over the World. He was a real clown, but a solid cowhorse, and quality workin' hand.

Profile Information
- About Me:
- Reisa collects and rewrites Ukrainian legends as well as recounting her intense experiences with animals tame and wild.
She has recently completed her gonzo memoir of a Baba, "My Goat Prefer Naked: Ukrainian Soul Food with Stories From the Village." These are wild stories Reisa has collected over a lifetime of listening to refugees and immigrants. Check out her very brief story sound clips in the left hand column! Yes, it says "My Music," but these are stories.
She performs her Baba stories in Vancouver venues while hounding literary agents. Live audiences make great editors!
In her performances, malcontent Babas wreak borshch mayhem, a murder of crows attend a funeral, and a young man wins the heart of a princess by paying respect to his ancestral heritage of horsemanship---but not before napping on a wood stove and singing an erotic homage to baked fish.
Reisa's first job was acting in a Sears commercial at the age of four. She recently narrated a special for Bravo TV, and brought a local environmental issue to national attention through storytelling in the media. She sings in many styles and is a gospel music soloist. She performs with the Shadbolt Centre.
A devotee of St. Francis, she is passionate about rescuing abused or slaughterhouse-bound horses. Her photos (below) show such a mother-daughter pair, now in loving sanctuary near her home.
Reisa also utilizes her extensive dog experience to socialize rescues at her local shelter. She is fulfilling her childhood dream of both mothering countless animals and performing on stage.
"May my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God."

- Sounds like a section of a folktale from somewhere - 'and the red hawk swooped down from the sky and seized the very last bird in its talons and flew away off to its nest.'

Terrence Roberts said… - Thanks Riesa, Freestyle poetry is a rush for me. It is like shaking up a bottle of champagne and popping the cork. You don't know where its going, but you know its going to be good. LOL. I am looking forward to getting to know you better.

Richelle Putnam said… - Thanks, Reisa. Southerners take their time in doing everything! Therefore, Southern writers take their time in telling stories. Because of this, I think the details of their stories and their characters are well-developed, so much so you feel like you're in the story with them.

And he renounced wealth to live more simply..."Brother Sun Sister Moon" was one of my favorite movies in college, Zeffirelli portrait with music by Donovan...I think more than anything I relate to St Francis for KINDNESS. towards all of us.

Mary Brugh said… - Hi Reisa, ETSU is the only school in US that offers a Masters Degree in Storytelling. I was encouraged to come here by a friend and I am glad I did. The program combines academics with practical experience. Your work sounds interesting and as soon as I finish my last paper for this semester, I'll take a longer look at your posts. best, Mary
