Hal Freedman is the author of Poems of a Classical Musician ($10.00). His opinion is that the line between music and poetry is a thin one, if such a line exists at all. He feels that both music and poetry are the expressions of an inner melody; one that speaks of the human story. Poet and Editor, Rosemary Cappello.
Irving Courtley Jones, aka Karamo Muchuri Sulieman, is an African American poet and author of Sweet Mints ($10.00). He received Honorable Mention in the 1999 Mellon Poetry Contest, for a 100+ page poem entitled Black Roses. He has also published in numerous magazines; journals and anthologies.
Bohdan Pechenyak, author of 9/11 ($10.00) is a bilingual Ukrainian-American author of poetry, prose, and translations. Born in Lviv, Ukraine, lives in Philadelphia, PA, USA. The two decades circumscribed by the subtitle – 2001- 2021 – were defined by multiple struggles: with identity, with mental health difficulties, with generational trauma. Life goes on, and so do the struggles. Nothing is permanent except change.
Louisa Schnaithmann, author of Plague Love ($10.00), work has appeared or is forthcoming in Beltway Poetry Quarterly, Gargoyle, Rogue Agent, Wine Cellar Press, and others. She is the consulting editor for ONE ART: a journal of poetry and lives in Philadelphia.
Alan Toltzis is the author of Mercy ($10.00) which follows the natural arc of the 13 attributes of mercy, a biblical formula for compassion and forgiveness. Each poem explores one attribute of mercy—from the first, being merciful before a person does anything wrong, to the last, washing away sins through pardon.
