Martin Wiley author of Just/More and When Did We Stop Being Cute?, grew up confronting and embracing a world as mixed and confused as he was, surrounded by beautiful words one minute and screamed at with hate the next. A long- time activist, spoken-word artist, and slam poet, he had begun to see himself as a “recovering poet” but his children’s growing love of words dragged him, mostly happily, off the wagon. His work has appeared in journals like Apiary, Philadelphia Stories, The Northern Virginia Review, The Northridge Review, Conspire, and others.
