I make things work that aren't supposed to. 

I'm a software architect always looking for ways to describe things in code.  Professionally I design websites and applications; as a hobby I write code to translate Roman numerals or find the distance between two passages of text or map fuzzy knowledge.

Software is as much an art as it is a science and I feel happy here.

Although I was born in Brooklyn, New York and still love the Big Apple, I have retired to a small town (one half block) in upstate New York and feel very content here.  Have been writing poems since I was 13 years old and have never regretted my interest in literature and the creation of literature.

Have been fortunate enough to be published in around 200 zines.  Since my speaking voice is supposed to be quite good, I have been thrilled to read my poems at The Nattional Arts Club (Gramarcy Park, NYC), McNay Art Institute in San Antonio, Tx., and other distinguished venues.

Michael Lee Johnson is a poet and freelance writer from Itasca, Illinois.  He has been published in over 21 countries.  He started writing back in 1967 short love poems and keep them on his back in boxes, napkins, etc. while in exile in Canada during the Vietnam era.

Hello, I'm a mom of 7.  I have always had a passion for writing since grade school.  I love to read things that touch the heart, write things that embrace the heart. 

Psychonaut X is the pseudonym for a beginning writer named Christopher Provost who lives in Nashua, NH.  He has been writing semi-seriously since March 2009.  So far his work has been recognized by Utmost Christian Writers, Frogpond (twice), and Prune Juice, in that order. He primarily writes short form poetry like haiku because that's all he has time for.  The rest of his time is spent working, spending time with his family, and drinking himself into an early grave.
