POETS OF THE WEEK
~ This week's featured poets are KIMBERLY E. RUTH and ERIC HAMILTON
KIMBERLY E. RUTH (New Paltz, New York) is a recent graduate from SUNY
New Paltz where she studied photography and journalism. She plans to
attend graduate school in the fall, where she will work towards an
MFA in fine art. She is the author of the forthcoming chapbook, Said
the Oyster to the Fly (Pudding House Press) and an e-chapbook,
Between Cardboard Mountains (Gold Wake Press), which is available for
free.
ERIC HAMILTON (Ridgefield Park, New Jersey) is a deranged artist who
paints everything from canvas to freight trains. He also writes
poetry and enjoys sharing his spoken word at slams or cafes
everywhere from NYC out to LA. He was born and raised in Las Vegas,
spent a lot of time living in east Los Angeles, and is now unemployed
and attending college as a journalism major in New Jersey, where you
can find him at art galleries and coffee shops politicking with the
poets, art-fags, and random transient folk. He's a bit of a broken
man who receives a lot of undeserved attention from women, smokes
cigarettes, stumbles in and out of short-term relationships looking
for love, spends most of his time waiting for lung cancer and
responses from publishers, and is known to occasionally set fire to a
booklet of poems aged with the experience of time.

POETRY SUPER HIGHWAY BOOKSTORE
Featured this week in the PSH Bookstore:
Sleepyhead Assassins by Mindy Nettifee
"Sleepyhead Assassins" is an extremely satisfying read, the
culmination of an escalating potential that is only now beginning to
come into its own. --OC Weekly
Her words show a severe understanding of life's alternating current
of harshness and sweetness. The voice that writes Nettifee's poetry
is partially formed from her life experience and partially retrieved
from the life experience of many brilliant but broken women before
her. --Poetix
Mindy Nettifee's new book "Sleepyhead Assassins" has the usual
earmarks of a well-crafted collection; a provocative title; the
customary themes of love, loss, and self-discovery; and an abundance
of humor. ... I do believe that Ms. Nettifee is destined to be the
next Dorothy Parker. --Poetic Diversity
Description
If you doubt that Mindy Nettifee is a tough cookie, just browse some
of her titles here: "The College Girls Are Trying The 1960s On For
Size And Express Indignation Because I Shave," "Island Of Lost High
Horses" and the ever-popular "An American Political Awakening, Set To
Six Popular Stages Of A Porn Scene." To show off her sensitive side,
she also includes a poem about Dr. Seuss. Nettifee's first
collection, "Sleepyhead Assassins" is as searing and provocative as
its title.
Paperback, 60 pages Published by Moon Tide Press, (September, 2006)
~ If you are or were a featured poet of the week on the Poetry Super
Highway AND you have a book available through Amazon.com, please let
me know so we can feature your work in the Poetry Super Highway
Bookstore in a new section just for former featured poet's books.
Write bo...@PoetrySuperHighway.com with your name and the title of
the book.

No, unfortunately and fortunately, things are moving at a fast pace
down here, these days, and didn't have a chance to sit down with it...
great that the shows are archived, this could turn out to be some
interesting and important historical stuff, well, it already is on
some levels, I'm sure.
