He soon moved thereafter to Washington, D.C. where he wrote his first book, Guards of the Heart, consisting of four plays written in poetic form. In Washington D.C., he worked at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and was extraordinarily active in the cultural scene of that city. He served as the President of the Board of the Poetry Committee at The Folger Shakespeare Library from 1994-1997 and as the Literary Editor of the arts bi-monthly The Washington Review from 1991-1997. He also Co-founded and directed the In Your Ear poetry reading series at the District of Columbia Arts Center. During these years Ross continued to publish poetry, including How to Write; or, I used to be in love with my jailer (Texture Press, 1992); An American Voyage (Sun & Moon Press, 1993); Push (Leave Books, 1994); De-flections (Potes and Poets, 1994); Full Silence (Upper Limit Music, 1995); and The Fuzzy Logic Series (Texture Press, 1996). His poetry reveals close links with the "Language" poets but seeks in its often disjunctive structure, puns, and linguistic riddles, to be accessible to a large audience. Many of Ross's poems are subliminally political while concerned with love and interrelations between individuals. The American Voyage, in particular, concerns the idealism of American culture and its failures as a culture to live up to those ideals. Douglas Messerli, Publisher of Sun & Moon Press In 1997 he received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship Award for his poetry and moved to San Diego, where he worked for The City of San Diego Commission's for Arts and Culture.

He also continued to be very active in the San Diego cultural scene, serving as a board member of the San Diego Art Institute and Co-founding and curating the Beyond the Page reading series in that city. Two more books appeared: The Wood Series (Seeing Eye Books, 1997); and EQUATIONS=equals (Green Integer, 2004). In 2003 he received his first of three Gertrude Stein Poetry Awards.

In this episode, artist and cultural activist Melvin Jarman dives into "The Art of Enlivenment," exploring the intersections of creative thought, spiritual awakening, and personal transformation. Drawing on the ideas of Rudolf Steiner and Jean Gebser, Jarman discusses how living thinking connects with artistic expression and social change. Joined by insights from Bonnita Roy as a great influencer to his personal path and his research on organizational development as well as the art of cookery as a metaphor for transformative processes, this conversation weaves together creativity, consciousness, and community-building. Tune in for a rich dialogue that bridges thought and action, art and spirit.  In this inaugural episode of *Roots of Enlivement*, host Cordula Frei engages in a deep and thought-provoking conversation with guest Melvin Jarman. Together, they explore the alchemy of cooking, the process of renaturing, and the wisdom of thinkers like Bonnita Roy, Jean Gebser, and Rudolf Steiner. The discussion illuminates the concept of "enlivened thinking" in response to times of crisis, offering fresh perspectives on how we sense-make and reconnect with the world around us. The episode invites listeners to reconsider the nocturnal, feminine aspect of the psyche, an archetype that calls us back to our origins and primordial trust. Frei and Jarman share their personal journeys in embracing this process, providing insights into how this deepened connection can foster resilience and creativity. As the first in a series of dialogues on ecology, psychology, and creativity, this episode sets the stage for a rich exploration of our inner and outer worlds.  Featured guest:  “My name is Melvin and I work mainly as a chef, consultant and coach around the core theme of being regenerative, both in how we act in the world as individuals, and in how our organizations are operated. My work is centred around learning and applying the challenging and enlivening ideas and practices laid out by Rudolf Steiner and Jean Gebser, and thinkers who have developed their work further such as Bernard Lievegoed, and contemporaries such as Jeremy Johnson.

Dr. Gregg Henriques, author of 'UTOK - The Unified Theory of Knowledge', explores fascinating intersections of science, philosophy, and psychology. He discusses alchemy's role in merging diverse ideas for deeper understanding. The conversation dives into political biases and their influence on perception, advocating for self-awareness in discourse. Henriques critiques traditional psychological models, suggesting a new approach to consciousness. Plus, he reflects on the challenges of making complex theories accessible to a wider audience.
