   and textbooks among her minor publications.  Her poems have been

   things is to tell stories through poetry, and much of her fiction
   lives in the realm of magical realism.

   Mountains of Virginia. She is also the editor of "The Eclipse"
   (http://theeclips.net), Verse Libre Quarterly

   Alcohol Counselor who works primarily with adolescents and their
   families. His poems have appeared in a number of print journals as
   well as on-line publications.  He took first place in last years
   Poetry Super Highway contest, spent some time as Associate Editor of
   Samsara (http://sundress.net/samsara/) and has judged local poetry
   slams (getting booed profusely for not understanding angst-ridden,
   angry poems about cats, the government and lousy relationships) and
   also has moderated poetry workshops. He took a ten year hiatus from
   writing after everything he wrote was lost in a tragic boat
   accident. Alex returned to writing in the fall of 1999, he does not
