Norla Antinoro is a research
biologist cross trained as a pyshcotherapist. Finding
herself forced to retire from both professions, she
bumbled about until she discovered that writing did not
have to be technical to be fun. In short, she discovered
poetry and opinion. A bit of a footloose wanderer since
her husband's death, she has lived in Canada, New York,
and is now roosting at least for a while in Oregon. Norla
spends her time writing poetry and politics as well as
finding expression in painting, photography and fiber art.
She sees art as easy to intertwine with the social justice
issues that absorb her passions and energies. She now
edits two magazines online: We!, a weekly
progressive op-ed journal, and Jabberwocky' s Garden,
a literary jourmal that showcases the work of some of the
most talented poets out there. Both zines are hosted pro
bono by MyTown.ca.

Vince Beck: I was born in New York City. I've lived most of my
life on the road, a military up bringing gave me a good grounding in
"the rules of the road". That's probably why I've survived, even tho my
address was on the wild side, marijuana, benzedrine, alcohol, LSD, and
the heavy one--heroin. I abused them all and managed to escape. Today
I'm pretty much drug-free, except for the occasional bit of the "herb
superb". I immigrated to Australia 1970...No regrets. I've traveled
Australia and I love it, naturalized in 1978 "here to stay"! My
band--"Vince & the Vipers" play all sorts of music. Beside myself
there's Steve Berriman on reeds, tenor ukulele, vocal back-ups....Brian
Mollet, ukulele, back-up vocals. I do the main vocals and play guitar.
Jazz, rhythm & blues, country--we play 'em all. Aside from a couple of
charity gigs a month, we've been laying low for the winter (April to
October) months.

John Tiong Chunghoo: "I started writing poetry during my
secondary school
years after having been introduced to greats like Blake, Clare, William
Wordsworth, and Shakespeare among others. During the early 2000s, I fell
in love with Matsuo Basho on the net after signing up with a
site to have a poem delivered to me every day; his haiku is really
great. It always succeeds to set me into another realm. I have written
thousands of poems posted on the world wide web. Readers need only to
google my name john tiong chunghoo to get to them. Now I am working as a
travel journalist with the New Straits Times, one of the oldest English

| Hugh Fox
was born in Chicago in 1932. Polio at age 4, cured by a pre-Saulk
vaccine that worked. Spent his children totally immersed in the
arts, was part of the All Childrens' Grand Opera group run by
Viennese genius Zerlina Muhlman Metzger, studied violin and
composition with P. Marinus Paulson, art and ceramics at the Art
Institute in Chicago, was pushed into Medicine by his M.D. father,
finished four years of pre-med and a year of medicine, then got an
M.A. at Loyola in Chicago and a Ph.D. in English/American Literature
at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. It was at
Urbana-Champaign that he met and married Lucia Ungaro Zevallos, a
Peruvian poet-critic who was getting her Ph.D. in Romance Languages,
and after the marriage they moved to Los Angeles where he taught for
ten years at Loyola-Marymount University and was immersed in the
film-world. At the same time thanks to his wife he began to go to
Peru to visit his Peruvian family and slowly visited all the major
ruins in the pre-Columbian Americas.He met Harry Smith in Berkeley
in 1968 and they became best friends and for some twenty years Fox
would visit Smith 2-3 times a year in New York City/Brooklyn and
work on Smith's magazines, get to know the poets and writers in the
New York scene. He was a Fulbright Professor for a year in Mexico
(1961), two years in Caracas (1964-'66), which especially made sense
because he married a Peruvian in 1956. In 1968 he moved to Michigan
State U. and taught there until he retired 6 years ago. While at
Michigan State U. he had a Fulbright professorship in Brazil where
he met and married a Brazilian M.D., studied Latin American
literature on a grant from the Organization of American States at
the U. of Buenos Aires, and after beginning to make archaeological
discoveries and have his books on archaeology published, he received
another grant from the Organization of American States to spend a
year as an archaeologist in the Atacama Desert in Chile. One of his
daughters is married to an Algerian-Jewish Parisian and he has spent
considerable time in Paris. He has some 100 books published, BUT HIS
MOST IMPORTANT WORK STILL REMAINS UNPUBLISHED, ESPECIALLY HIS MAJOR
NOVELS. A book of his plays was just published (Ommmmmm) as well as
Opening the Door Into French Film and his fantasy
novel Voyage to the House of Yama. His autobiography,
Way, Way Off the Road was published a couple of years
ago by Ibbetson Street Press in Somerville, Massachusetts. Higganum

of media: paint, paper and fabric. While I love experimenting and
learning from other media, I always return to fabric. My newest work
combines commercial and hand-dyed and painted fabric that I imprint
using hand-carved stamps. I also embellish many pieces with beading and
embroidery. I view each piece I create as a story or poem, rather than a
picture. Kim

| Vidur Jyoti: a Surgeon
by profession - exposed to the nuances of language by my mother - I took
to poetry rather unknowingly when I composed a free verse tribute to a
caged parrot. Thus I trace the beginning of this journey to the shrine
of Muse rather early in my school days. My foray into the field of
disease and healing found me looking at life rather more intently. I was
learning to attempt to unravel its messages and the result was some
prose and verse written in my mother tongue Hindi and in English. Some
of my work found its place in an e-zine www.boloji.com. When introduced
to Haiku I found a sudden surge in my earlier attempts at communicating
with life as it is. I have also contributed to some of the major Haiku
groups online. Some of my Tanka compositions have been published in
Modern English Tanka. When I am not involved with phenomenon
of life professionally I try to delve deeper into it through Indian
philosophy and my cameras. I live in Gurgaon, an upcoming IT hub, close
to New Delhi. |

Elizabeth Searle
Lamb was born in Topeka, Kansas on January 22, 1917. She
graduated from the University of Kansas with majors in Music and
Harp. In December of 1941, she married her husband, Bruce Lamb, and
lived with him in Trinidad, Spain for two years. Because Lamb was
only in the United States for brief periods of time through out the
next few years, she did not have a chance to pursue her music
career. Therefore, she began to write and publish different types of
materials, and this eventually led to poetry.
In 1961, Lamb and her husband moved to New York. This is where she
was first introduced to the art of haiku. She began to study, read,
and write about this form of poetry. She became a member of the
Haiku Society of America (HSA) in 1968.
In 1971, ten years after she learned of haiku, she became the
president of the HSA. Since this time, she has had her work
published in many haiku magazines and newspapers. She has
participated in many festivals and held various offices. Lamb has
also been the editor for the HAS’s quarterly, which is entitled
Frogpond.
Elizabeth Searle Lamb passed away February 16, 2005 in Santa Fe, New
Mexico.

Maya Lyubenova lives in Bulgaria and teaches English to
musicians. She’s been writing poetry for many years, not quite sure
where the urge to write in English came from. Perhaps, because she
tried to translate some of her Bulgarian poems and saw it was easier
to write them directly in English. Her book Open the Door,
a collection of free verse poems describing life under communism,
was rewarded a Seal of Quality at www.fanstory.com.
Haiku and haiga are her newest passions. She’s been studying and
trying to write haiku for less than two years. She had four haiku
and three haiga published in 2007 – at Electronic Poetry Network,
Shamrock Haiku Journal and in the Haiga Contest at WHA.
Diagnosed breast cancer last year, she’s quite well at the moment.
Hurrying to write down her inspiration and revise all her previous
stuff, she knows there isn't much time to be wasted.

Mead: In the early
1990's Stephen Mead's poems began appearing in such
journals as Onionhead, Bellowing Ark, and
Invert, but upon moving to Provincetown, Mass.,
Stephen decided to concentrate more on visual work. It was
in the year 2000 that Stephen started seeking publication
again for both his writing and his art combined. Since,
then, thanks to the wonders of the World Wide Web, his
work has appeared internationally both in cyberspace and
hard copy. Often the writing has appeared along side the
paintings, and at other times with the text superimposed.
In 2004 Stephen began experimenting even more with these
poetry/art hybrids creating a series of e books, including
the award winning We Are More Than Our Wounds.
From there Stephen began experimenting with his art and
poem as films, at first creating slideshows with captions,
and then doing his own soundtracks and voice overdubs. In
2006 Stephen put this technology to use releasing a CD of

Shanna Baldwin Moore: well. let's
see—originally
from the tall tree country of Washington state, I surfed the tree tops
in the wind... My grandmother was a poet in Greenwich Village and
inspired me to write...I am also a painter in oil and this was what
connected me to the beat poets—I
was the art director of the gas house in Venice—we
had poetry readings to jazz and learned this awesome sound of music to
poetry... came to Hawaii 36 years ago for a vacation and I'm still
vacationing...a lot of my artwork was of Pele the goddess of the volcano
and now I write for her...my Hawaiian poetry can be found at "my
town". Hope to have a book out by the end of the year. |
