POETS OF THE WEEK

   ~ This weeks featured poets are LISSETTE ALONSO and CHRIS LIMBACH:

   LISSETTE ALONSO (Miami, Florida) shuffles paper for a living in one
   of many big buildings in Miami. She is studying to become an
   elementary school teacher after taking a few years off to reproduce.
   Her work has been published on-line by Gumball Poetry, Red Booth
   Review, and Premiere Generation Ink.

   CHRIS LIMBACH (Bay Shore, New York) is an old fart (36).  He lives
   with his fiance (Dorothy) and his pug puppy (The Swami). He stays up
   too late on school nights but he always gets the job done. He's been
   writing for a number of years and was a past featured poet of the
   week in February/March 2000. He was most recently published in "The
   Blue Collar Review" in April 2001 and may put out a self published
   collection in the near future.

   COME!  COME HERE NOW AND SEE THE BEST, MOST MIND BLOWING POEMS
   EVER...  Okay, now that the meaningless psychobabble is out of the
   way.  I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all poetry
   lovers to my website.  I don't like to confine myself to a
   particular category, or deal with only a certain feeling in my
   poetry.  I try to deal with it all.  Thankfully, I'm not alone.  I
   also accept submitted work from people as well.  So if you want to
   stop in to read my work, or see the work of other people, then come
   on in.  You can even tell me what you think about my work at the
   FORUM of MYSTERY...  Okay, maybe it's not a forum of mystery, but
   a forum nonetheless. ^_^

   ~ THE SAD DUMB WORLD OF WILLIAMTAYLOR JR.
   The poetry of William Taylor Jr.  Dark, gritty and grimly humorous. 
   William's work has appeared widely in the small press and on the net
   for a decade now and has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize.  Check

POETRY SUPER HIGHWAY BOOKSTORE

   ~ Check out our online bookstore for personal recommendations as well
   as Amazon.com's complete catalog of books, music and whatever the
   hell else they've started selling these days.

   ~ Featured this week in the Poets of the Week section of the PSH
   Bookstore is ALL OCCASIONS by WALT McDONALD.

   Emily Dickinson said, "I know it is poetry if I feel as if the top of
   my head has come off." Walt McDonald's collection, All Occasions, is
   that kind of poetry; his celebration of the ordinary moment turns
   mundane life experiences into significant events and transforms
   ordinary observations into profound ideas. In this collection, his
   skillful use of sound and diction go beyond his previous works as he
   continues to create fresh images to explore the experiences of
   childhood, war, marriage and family, ranching, life and death.

   McDonald's poetry just keeps getting better in form and content.
   This collection, All Occasions, is definitely worth buying.

   ~ If you are or were a featured poet of the week on the Poetry Super
   Highway AND you have a book available through Amazon.com, please
   let me know so we can feature your work in the Poetry Super Highway
   Bookstore in a new section just for former featured poet's books.
   Write mailto:books@PoetrySuperHighway.com with your name and the
   title of the book.

   You can learn more about or order this selection (or virtually any
   other existing book, video or audio recording) by clicking on
   BOOKSTORE from the Poetry Super Highway's main page.
