My poetry has appeared widely in magazines including Five Points, Prairie schooner, The North American Review, The Cortland Review, Agenda, and Ars Interpres. In 2009, my work was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. I teach writing at the University of New Hampshire and live with my wife and dog in Exeter, NH. "Blackberries" It may in the end come to this: memory the tongue will not abandon to fact, the dark fruit bobbing in sugared cream. . . We made our shirts into baskets, dawn hung dew-luminous on branches, cricket-thick glade abuzz with rising heat, our young hands among thorns. It is enough, perhaps, to have lived this, to have known the summer air stung ripe, to hold up against all that is leaving us these berry-stained t-shirts, fingers purpled sticky-sweet, the warm cream dribbling our chins, and this mouth still bruised with what it can’t say. — James Rioux | 10/24/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Her chapbook, Throat is available through Igneus Press. She published and co-edited the poetry magazine, Crying Sky: Poetry & Conversation 2005-2007. She has a second chapbook coming out with Pudding House in 2009. This poem came out of the frustration I sometimes feel when I watch the news. That feeling of ones hands being tied in the midst of so much negativity. It may have been my attempt at taking back my day. We do go on with the things we deem important, despite what is happening around us. At this time I was working with Alzheimer's patients. What the News Seemed to Say is also the title poem for my new chapbook. I put the chapbook together after realizing I was a bit of a "news junky" and had several pieces inspired by or incorporating news items in them. I then expanded on the theme news to broaden the theme of the book. | 10/4/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Chris Olander - Feb 08,2010 | Chris Olander, poet, teacher and bio-educator with California Poets in the Schools (CPITS) since 1984, blends performance techniques with spoken word to create an Action Art Poetry: musical image phrasing to dramatize relative experiences--a poetry arising from oral and bardic traditions. "I am a sound poet exploring various meanings of words, phrasings and ideas arranged in sound and rhythm patterns." "More dynamic than listening to a recording or reading, I become the poem. I use contemporary events to bring forth and reveal mythic themes and archetypes that social and religious institutions repress within duty, shame and routine. Individual recognition of common archetypes within the poems re-establishes respect between humans and the others of nature and renews the integrity of all individual species within the community of a given place. We are all in this together---what we make of it is what we get!" | 2/8/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bill Gainer,Todd Cirillo and Will Staple read from the book--Roxy! - Aug 15,2009 | Roxy: Is after hours poetry; when the lights go down and the memory of last call has faded into the exhaled smoke of a bummed cigarette-Roxy comes to life.The poems are rooted in the street,caress (no slam!) the frailties of the human relationship, lean toward the erotic and show that honest poetry,feelings and emotions,cannot be confined by political correctness.In fact,Roxy is not a political correct collection.Cirillo,Gainer and Staple don’t tell those gentle lies. a blurb from the poet, Ann Menebroker about Roxy: …”comes along three poets who write from their perspective of life.Staple reminds of us how “few the nights content of heart/to sit with a friend/in one candle’s light”Gainer writes that “you can beat the fight out of someone/ but to kill the will/was to shatter the angels”and Cirillo,in the poet Rumi’s expansive way says “I’m getting that big-feeling again”..You don’t have to be a poet to love these poems.You just have to have a heart beating behind your ribcage.” | 8/15/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Andy Antippas - Apr 24,2009 | Andy Antippas graduated from NYU in 1962. He taught English Literature at The Johns Hopkins University where he took an MA in English Literature. In 1963 he was admitted to the University of Athens, Greece, Law School but never attended classes and rather spent the year traveling throughout Greece and Egypt. He returned to teach at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where he completed his PhD in 1968. He came to New Orleans and taught the English Romantic and Victorian poets at Tulane University as an Associate Professor until 1980. In 1978, he opened Barrister's Gallery which specialized in African and Pacific Rim ethnographic material and Louisiana folk art. Since 1999, however, he has given the gallery over primarily to exhibiting the work of younger, emerging artists. Antippas wrote numerous scholarly articles on 19th century English and American literary figures and he has also written about American folk artists. Most recently, he wrote a catalog essay, “Postcards from the Deep,” about critical approaches to the work of artists struggling with mental illness, presented a lecture last year at the Blanchard Symposium of the American Folk Art Museum in NYC, and an on-line commentary on a New Orleans folk photographer for Triple Canopy. And like everyone else in the Western World he has an article forthcoming in Raw Vision. Antippas published his first poems in 1961 in a campus literary=2 0magazine. He then suffered poetry writer's block for 45 years. “Having lovingly taught the best poets in the language. Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, Shelley, Byron, Tennyson, Arnold, and Browning, it was inconceivable to me I could say anything at all. It is only in the last few Post-Post Modern years I can feel comfortable with their words and images and forms rattling around in my head. If anything I am writing has any intellectual and emotional validity, it is because those great poets are consciously and unconsciously invoked and evoked.” | 4/24/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Jason Mashak and David OPrava - Feb 08,2009 | Jason Mashak: whose family names include Mashak, Bielicki, Tikal, and Strauss on his father's side, and Iverson, Hammond, Boze, and Bower on his mother's side, was born in southwest Michigan, where he was raised around factories, snow, and hotrods until moving to north Georgia at the age of 10. Once in Georgia, his grades went down because he couldn't understand his teachers. After mastering the southern tongue (stuck down and back yonder in the mouth), he picked up a guitar and imitated Keith Richards playing Allman Brothers hits. This eventually took him to Oregon at age 25 (as Seattle's scene was already long gone). Unfortunately, he wasn't punk enough for Portland, and decided to write poems about that, resulting in a need for solitude, which somehow took him to the former Czechoslovakia, where he now primarily watches the collapse of the US Empire on youtube.--------------------- David OPrava: David E. Oprava writes, because he has to. He is terrified of what will happen otherwise. It makes him prolific. He has been in over forty journals online and in print and his first full-length book of poems, VS., was released in October 2008 by Erbacce Press. When he isn't writing he is battling against his raging sobriety and trying to live up to the high moral expectations of husbandhood, fatherhood, and humanhood. Not necessarily in that order and not necessarily succeeding. | 2/8/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Kathleen Housley - Dec 07,2008 | Poet Kathleen Housley is a sort of Dian Fossey of human language. In pursuit of its mysteries, she has gone out in language's dark, misty forest and lived among it like a conservation biologist, with her clipboard and binoculars. To our great benefit, Housley is a passionate, meticulous student. In her poems, one encounters a keen, sprightly intellect at play—but there is an unshakeable seriousness, too, a pure, clear, earnest desire for precision. Her thought moves in a graceful rhythm, quick and imaginative. The words themselves become live things, purring and clacking and chattering. Her vision of the world is capacious, tender, and wise, and full of a rich, humane curiosity. With acute, scientific exactness, her poems teach us a delight in the creation, in its multiplicity and surprise. A patient teacher, Housley leads us to the pleasure of the concrete and specific. Birds, animals, reptiles, humans: the poems offer a taxonomy of creation that is at once tender and wise, and a care for the life and nuance of speech that is both urgent and long-sighted. Like all the best poets, Housley is what Fossey might have called an “active conservationist” of the word. Besides being a poet, Housley is an independent writer and researcher with strong interdisciplinary knowledge, spanning American history, art, science, and theology. Her undergraduate degree is from Upsala College and her masters from Wesleyan University. Her biography The Letter Kills But the Spirit Gives Life: The Smiths (1993) was on the Smith sisters who were well-known nineteenth century abolitionists, suffragists, and Bible translators. The book won the Award of Merit from the Connecticut League of Historical Societies in 1994. Her second biography Emily Hall Tremaine: Collector on the Cusp (2001, University Press of New England) was a finalist for the Library of Congress/Connecticut Center of the Book Award in 2002.

Robert Cooperman - Dec 01,2008 | Robert Cooperman was born and bred in Brooklyn, but has spent a lot of time writing about the Old West, partly because of a childhood love of horse operas and partly for having moved to Denver to study at the University of Denver's Creative Writing Program, which is also where he met his wife, Beth, whose reaction to a poem he submitted for criticism was "Oh dear, this is dreadful." Suffice to say it was love at second sight. Cooperman has published eight collections. IN THE COLORADO GOLD FEVER MOUNTAINS (a triogy depicting the life and death of a boomtown, the hanging of a soiled dove for murder, and the fictionalized travels of an Englishwoman with a Western badnan in the Rockies) won the Colorado Book Award in 2000. THE WIDOW'S BURDEN (a tale ripped from the headlines but transposed to the time of the Colorado Territory) was runner-up for the WILLA Literary Award from Women Writing the West. Another tale of the Old West is his recent collection, A KILLING FEVER , which fictionalizes the horrific adbuction, rape, murder, and attempted murder of two young girls in Casper, Wyoming, but which is also set in the time of the Colorado Territory. Cooperman's latest collection is A TINY SHIP UPON THE SEA, which was inspired by an old Irish folksong protesting the British practice of pressing Irishmen into service in the British navy and army. Forthcoming from Main Street Rag is Cooperman's ninth collection, THE WORDS WE USED, a departure for him, in that these are lyrical poems based on the Yiddish words and phrases he heard growing up. A tenth collection, THE RANCH WIFE, is a contemporary Western, set in a fictional ranching community on the Eastern Plains of Colorado, and is due out in 2010. Cooperman is presently working on a sequel to A TINY SHIP UPON THE SEA and a collection inspired by the folksong, "The Lily of the West." | 12/1/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Charlotte O'Brien - Nov 23,2008 | Charlotte O'Brien had her first poem published in a girly teen magazine at the age of ten. She has come a long way since then. Ask her where she's from and she'll tell you: England, Australia, & San Francisco in that order. She currently lives in the forest above the ocean near San Francisco with her partner, her ten-year-old daughter and her cat. Charlotte holds a BA in Creative Art with a double major in Creative Writing from Griffith University, and won the Australian Dorothy Crawford Memorial Scholarship for Creative Writing. She completed the Master Poetry Class at USC and returned from Prague where she studied poetry at Charles University through the USC program of Professional Writing. Her poetry has appeared in journals such as The Southern Californian Anthology, Cider Press review, LA Melange and Beyond The Valley Of The Contemporary Poets Anthology. Charlotte is a former co-host for Feminist Magazine on KPFK and a performer and staff writer for LitRave. She has been the featured poet at many venues throughout Southern California including Feminist Magazine for NPR, and the LA Times Festival of Books. She believes that books smell almost better than her daughter's skin. She recommends moving on when you get stuck. Advises that myopia is something to be wary of even before you get old. Would take looking at the moon over watching the ocean but prefers to do both at the same time. She tends to take life as it comes and thinks that probably, things will work out. | 11/23/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Anthony Miller - Oct 11,2008 | Anthony Miller is a young artist who floats around through many genres. As a child, the halls of his home echoed with the sounds of the great thought provoking music of the past. Artists such as Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, and Stevie Wonder, to name a few, formed a strong base for a future musician, painter, poet, sketch artist, and writer. Being born around the same time as Hip-Hop has enabled him to witness the evolution the new voice of the unheard. This mixture of visual, vocal, and physical expression further fueled his passions. Just as some of the most revered artists of the past, Hip-Hop wasn’t readily accepted as an art. This didn’t deter Anthony from being captivated by this birth of a new culture, for he felt a sense of belonging that he’d never felt before. From the music of Hip-Hop, Anthony developed a love of poetry. From the graffiti, arose his love of drawing and painting. And from the dance, he learned the importance of body language and how you can communicate without uttering a sound. By becoming a part of this new movement, he’s learned that people’s opinions are just that, and their usually wrong. Growing up as a part of the original Hip-Hop generation, formerly referred to as “Generation X”, he knows that there are many misconceptions that he hopes to help eradicate. Anthony used to believe that you have to “ignore the ignorant”, a saying he devised in his early teens when encountered with racism and other acts of the unknowing and fearful. He now knows that you have to inform the ignorant. If you ignore a problem, it doesn’t falter, it festers, and becomes another sore on the human race that eventually turns into a cancer. A deep-seeded love of all people has always driven Anthony to be that common bond that everyone can share, hopefully, elevating everyone he encounters to a higher place within themselves. | 10/11/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Joe Milford Hosts Jill Essbaum - Oct 04,2008 | Jill Alexander Essbaum's poetry has been compared to "a cross between Dorothy Parker and a lap dance" and "John Donne in sexy underwear." Her poems are equal parts religion, rhythm, and ribaldry. Not a formalist, she prefers the moniker of “formal-ish poet,” or more specifically, a “rhymist.” A graduate of the universities of Houston and Texas both (BA and MA, respectively), Jill was halfway through a Master of Arts in Religion at the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest when her first book Heaven won the 1999 Bakeless Prize and was published by University Press of New England. Of Heaven, Bakeless judge Agha Shahid Ali wrote: "Only the best writers put us right at the site of myth and thus assert, for us, our right to be part of the beginning and end of any world, any heaven. That Jill Alexander Essbaum does it so quietly, so delicately, and puts herself, and us, at the center of Heaven itself leads me only to envy. For how else can one convincingly transcend the domestic? There is simply no self-congratulation in these poems. Just a graceful, magical way of taking oneself - and one's bare uncertainties - for granted." In 2003, Jill was a recipient of an NEA literature grant during which time she wrote the collection of erotic sonnets, Oh Forbidden (Pecan Grove Press). Her poems have appeared in journals both religious and secular, both print and on-line, both famously well-known and thoroughly obscure including The Christian Century, Poetry, Rhino, Coconut, No Tell Motel, The Texas Observer, WOMB, Cranky, The National Poetry Review, Image, 42opus, and many others. She has taught at Concordia University in Austin, and the University of Texas. Currently she is preparing for the publication of a fourth book, Necropolis, (neoNuma Arts, Spring 2008), and working on a new manuscript. Jill is a member of First English Lutheran church in Austin, Texas. If you would like to book her for a reading or a lecture, please contact her directly at jilly@essbaum.com.

Eugenia Macer-Story - Sep 02,2008 | EUGENIA MACER-STORY is a poet/playwright and visual artist who also writes books and articles on the supernatural and ufo contact. She is particularly interested in the similarity between the lore of the supernatural, sorcery and the history of ufology. However, she regards each instance of unexplained phenomena as separate and does not necessarily equate the two fields of inquiry. She has written sixteen books, among these poetry chapbooks, playscripts, journals and books not specifically non-fiction but concerning topics such as ufos, the supernatural and mysticism. There is a strong subtext of humor in her work, both fiction and non-fiction, as events in the area of the unexplained are often humorous in a distinctively peculiar way. She has written many plays which have been produced off-off Broadway and in regional locations. All of these scripts are available to the interested reader upon request but three previously produced dramatic titles have been published as examples of the supernatural ("Meister Hemmelin"), mythic ("Applied Ecological Authority") and comedic ("Ceremonies 17") dramatic representation of mysticism and the supernatural in live performance. Her books include three non-fiction investigative narratives: "Congratulations: The Ufo Reality" (1979); "Dr. Fu Man Chu Meets The Lonesome Cowboy: Sorcery And The Ufo Experience"(1991) and "Doing Business In The Adirondacks: True Tales Of The Bizarre And Supernatural"(2003) as well as one book of short stories: "Troll & Other Interdimensional Invasions" (2000) and the novel "Struck By Green Lightning AKA Project Midas "(1983 & 2004). The novel, which has undergone several revisions and printings, is particularly relevant to an understanding of the connection between the "ufo contactee" mythos and traditional sorcery links with powerful spirit beings from other-dimensional worlds. At this writing in 2008, Ms. Macer-Story is at work on a study of materialization phenomena, rogue sorcery, time anomal | 9/1/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Joe Milford Hosts Max Winter! - Aug 09,2008 | Max Winter’s poems have appeared recently in Ploughshares, Volt, The Yale Review, and elsewhere. He has published reviews in The Washington Post, The San Francisco Chronicle, and Newsday. Max Winter's poems operate in unpredictable ways. They sound as if controlled by some prevailing logic, and yet the reader is hurled forward, line by line, into unknown and unexpected worlds as the poems progress. They mutate seamlessly; they are awash in metaphor. Bold statements melt into one another, constantly changing their terms of play. A reader is tempted to ask, Is it a madman speaking? But no; upon closer examination, we see the reasoning process, however bizarre—the horseshoe turns, the breakaway ride from idea to idea. And yet nothing detracts from the wonder of it all. These are poems of great adventure and discovery, and not just for the reader, I suspect, but for the poet as well. —James Tate | 8/9/08 | Free | View In iTunes |
