Jonas Lucafont
We don't know too much about Jonas. We don't know where he lives, what he does, or when he is doing it. He sent us this incredibly short bio and we haven't changed one word of it: "Jonas is eighteen; a fresh and nascent high school graduate. he converses with ghosts, but mostly just listens. he is a faker and don't believe a word he says."

Gary Sloboda
Gary lives and works in San Francisco and has published a handful of poems in small magazines and journals, most recently in Rattle. Currently (actually, for the last year) he has been trying to put togther a progressive rock band and continues to write as much poetry as possible.

Hardy Wilson
Hardy's photo portraits are intriguing and varied, cutting across social classes and international boundaries. His work was also featured in last month's issue. Further examples of his work can be viewed online at his

fotopic web page.
