Bohemian Forest. His poetry collection Promising The Moon
is currently selling in local bookstores. He lives in Lodi,
New Jersey.
Robert
Creeley, in Selected Poems: 1945-1990, writes,
"Why poetry? Its materials are so constant, simple, elusive, specific.
It costs so little and so much. It preoccupies a life, yet can only
find one in living. It is a music, a playful construct of feeling,
a last word and communion."
Larry
D. Griffin is Professor of English and Dean of Arts and
Sciences at Dyersburg State Community College, Dyersburg, Tennessee.
His books of poetry include New Fires (1982), The Blue
Water Tower (1984), and Airspace (1989).
Robert Indiana is known for using public signs and symbols with
altered lettering to make stark and challenging visual statements.
In 1973, an 8¢ stamp was published with perhaps his most famous
image, LOVE. On the envelope of a letter to Robert Creeley,
Indiana numbered the stamp 1/4,000,000.

Wood (Pikadilly Press); and a novel, Southern Comfort
(New Earth Books). A former recepient of a fiction grant from the
New York State Arts Council, he currently lives in South Florida,

they say he lives in Nowhere, B.C., he could be writing poems in

Peter
Siedlecki is a Professor of English at Daemen College who
has taught in Poland and the former German Democratic Republic,
and--unless being so far away from baseball proves too devastating--will
probably retire someday to Italy. Meanwhile, when he is not working
on his book, writing poetry, or composing radio essays, he does
everything in his power to spread lies about Buffalo--about its
awful weather, its depressed economy, its uninteresting architecture,
its dearth of culture, its bad landscape--only to keep the upwardly-mobile
riffraff out.
Neca
Stoller is the owner-manager of a cattle farm in south Georgia.
She and her writing partner, Laura Young, this year won the Haiku
Society of America Renku Award. She has poems online in Recursive
Angel, Conspire, Ygdrasil, Eclectica, Snakeskin; and in paper
magazines such as Frogpond, Still, Visions International, El
Dorado Review, and Poetry.
Glenda
Zumwalt is a Professor of English at Southeastern Oklahoma
State University. She is a gardener, a grandmother, an animal lover,
a sometimes poet, and a Texan at heart.
