Marty
Esworthy
is a poet and performance artist currently involved in
an epic project called "Thinking' 'bout Ng," in which he
thinks everyday about a woman who lives her life wantonly on the
Internet, via a live-cam. He doesn't watch. Just thinks about it.
Her! Daily. Keeps it pure. Calls her Ng, for Net Girl. This performance,
ongoing since 1998, will last until 2003.
A MegaeraAward poetry winner,
his poetry and photography have appeared in numerous books, magazines
and journals, including Miserere review, logodaedalus, Syzsgy,
Diffference Engine, Quasar Review and Experimental
Forest.
His work, published both online
and offline, has been translated into twelve different languages,
including COBOL and FORTRAN.
Esworthy is an ex-Sagittarius,
who "has finally seen the light! Know I'm sayin'?" An enjoyer
of coffee, his favorite colour is turquoise. View

Lynn
Fetterolf
Glamour, adventure, triumph and
tragedy, Lynn Fetterolf has certainly had her share, and she's poured it
all into her poetry which ranges from the horrors of war to the humor of
being "Hefty at Sixty". A cross between Khalil Gibran and Irma
Bombeck, she's not had to imagine life, she's lived it. Her exotic expatriate life
spanned 20 years and made her an excellent witness to the modern history
of the Middle East including the civil war in Lebanon.
Lynn currently has two books of
poetry in print, Letters To My Love and Through Sand And
Sorrow, Memories of the Middle East, her autobiography. Through
Sand And Sorrow is nearly sold out in its second printing and is
endorsed by the Pennsylvania Poetry Society.
Widely published, you can find
Lynn's work in Writers' Digest magazine, Prolog, Harrisburg
Review, Digges' Choice and Beauty For Ashes Poetry Review
just to name a few.
