POETRY
Rock Salt Plum Poetry Review
Lola Haskins - "I always read from memory, rather than from the page, because I think that if you believe in something you owe it to the audience to hide as little as possible."

Laurie Kuntz - "I lived as a world traveler. I worked my way through each country. In Israel I lived on a Kibbutz, in Greece I picked grapes...the money I made from the back- breaking grape harvest allowed me to go to India and Nepal."

Samuel Willoughby- "I start with what is immediate, the seemingly mundane, the truth of the moment as I see it."
