Greetings my friends. I look forward to working with you. I am Prof. Amb. Dr. Joseph. S. Spence Sr., a prolific, worldwide award-winning, and best-selling poet. I follow my faith and am a World Peace Ambassador of Human Rights, Humanity, and International Diplomacy. My mother Revered Justice of The Peace,  Dr. Olive Spence (hc), taught me how to read, write, interpret, and recite poems in high school. I have uplifted worldwide humanity with inspiration since, served in poetic leadership positions, conducted seminars, recitals, and assisted poets worldwide to publish the golden words from their crystal inked musing pens. I authored ten uplifting poetry books and numerous peer-reviewed articles. My tenth recent book, “Sincerely Speaking Spiritually,” uplifts souls to press on and achieve the highest heavenly prize. My father a Gospel Minister, Rev. Dr. John Spence (hc), taught me spirituality.

I studied English literature, creative writing, African Diaspora, Japanese linguistics, mythology, and poetry at the University of Maryland, Howard University, and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). During military service as a decorated U. S. Army officer, I wrote poems for my comrades in arms who named me “Apollo,” the Greek god of poetry and music. Received worldwide awards for my uplifting poems, short stories, and articles. Inducted into various International Scholastic Honor Societies at UWM. Governor William Clinton (42nd U.S. President), appointed me as a Goodwill Ambassador for Arkansas, USA. I look forward to us working together. My residence? Wisconsin!

The following alliterated acrostic poem, sonnet format gives my poetic identity:

Joseph Spence, Sr: Acrostic, Alliteration, Sonnet Poem!

Jumping Jupiter, a jubilant sundae lover, and just a jewel.

Oppressed liberator, optimistically captivating; oratorical.

Saintly passionate, succulent salmon sampler; sweetheart.

Exquisitely enchanting, enchantingly amatorious; éclat.

Playful, painstakingly passionate, pajama wearer, patient.

Handsomely helpful handyman, harmonizer of happiness.

Sensationally super; Sagittarius son of Rev. John Spence.

Pleasantly personable, and Attorney Maud Spence’s son.

Enabling, exquisite, eloquent, evolving, and enterprising.

Naturally nice, no-nonsense, and a nutritional nobleman.

Carrot consumer, constant comrade, and cold-war veteran.

Heavenly enlightened, and just an elegant eggnog taster.

Sweet as syrup, shining armor off the shelf; savoir-faire.

Red-blooded poetry connoisseur and radioactively lovable!
