John Birkbeck I went thru childhood thinking something was the matter with me, but I didn't know what. Convinced I was insane, I decided to fool the world by faking a sane exterior, trying out dignified poses in front of a mirror, and jotting down my mad thoughts in secret. I then discovered that I was distantly related to Lord Byron, so I began reading his poems and trying to imitate them. I even grew to look like pictures of him.I didn't publish any poems till I was well into my 40s, but since then have published four books, and have appeared in small magazines and anthologies around the world.

Gina C. Bryson Approximately three years ago my journal entries (or poems) lifted themselves from hiding and made their way to the poetry page. Through the privacy of internet poetry workshops and my local library, I have been able to develop my voice for an audience more and more. In doing this, I¹ve found a language I had not dared to look at this concretely before. I am accustomed to being misunderstood, and writing has very much to do with displaying a little bit of my twist on things. My recent online publications include The Drunk Duck, Free Zone Quarterly, Friction Magazine, and The Adirondack Review. I live in the most beautiful part of New Jersey with my extremely talented husband and FIVE children.

Jerome Forbes was born and raised in a small town in Michigan where the greatest form of entertainment to be found was watching the stoplight change colors. Not singing well enough to call myself a singer, or acting well enough to call myself an actor, I've concentrated on prose as a way to express myself. Writing is a love-hate thing for me. As much as I enjoy it, it always seems to frustrate me to no end, and I'm happy when I finish with each piece...only to begin another.

Joseph LisowskiThe voice of Stashu Kapinski comes from the working class neighborhood of Lawrenceville, that area of Pittsburgh behind the abandoned steel mills on the banks of the Allegheny River. Many people I've known while growing up in that section of the city combine to form Stashu's character. He's a crusty, angry, strangely vulnerable, long time unemployed steel worker bewildered by the world before him and his place in it. (I have 3 complete, unpublished book length manuscripts of Stashu Kapinski). After a hiatus of about 8 years, I'm sending my work out again. I've been lucky enough to have poems in or accepted by Niederngasse, New Works Review, Stirring, The Sound of What, Wired Art for Wired Hearts, 2 River View, Free Zone Quarterly, A Writer's Choice, The Isle Review, Conspire, Poetry Repair Shop, Born Magazine, New World Poetry, Words on a Wire, Serpentine, Poet's Canvas, and The Cortland Review, etc. Recently, I was named poetry editor for New Works Review.
