POETS OF THE WEEK
~ This week's featured poets are: ROSS LEESE and JOSHUA MEANDER:
ROSS LEESE (Doncaster, England) lives in the cold North of England.
He is 30 years old and tends to be more miserable than he has any
real right to be.
JOSHUA MEANDER (Woodside, New York) is the host and publisher Nomad's
Choir Poetry Journal for 20 years. He hosts an open mic on the second
Saturday each month at 2 pm in basement of St. Veronica's Church. The
events are group interactive like a secular gospel church catering to
all ages and beliefs. His poems are dramatic and visual. He thinks
reciting a poem is like being a folk singer in the sense that he
recites other author's poems not just his own.

I AM MY OWN ORANGE COUNTY - 11TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION by RICK LUPERT
"Irreverent and yet somehow deeply empathic, many of the pieces
showcase Lupert's Prevert-like instinct for finding the profound in
the absurd."
- Brendan Constantine
Rick's second book, originally published in 1997 with all of the
original selected poems from artwork, introduction and orange-ness,
along with a newly written "Re-Introduction" and a "bonus material"
section featuring a selection of 29 additional (sometimes even MORE
sophomoric) poems from the I Am My Own Orange County 'era'.
