POETS OF THE WEEK

   ~ This weeks featured poets are LAUREL DAWNE MATTINGLY and
     LINDA GOIN.

   LAUREL DAWNE MATTINGLY (Canyon Lake, Texas) has been writing as long
   as she can remember.  She's published one poem previous to her
   appearance here.

   LINDA GOIN (Schaumburg, Illinois) is a dysfunctional middle-aged
   woman living - for the moment - in. She has no idea how she got
   there. She's a writer, an artist and an anarchist. She also wonders
   why people find it difficult to get along with her. Otherwise,
   she's perfectly at peace with her menopause.


   Read their work online by clicking on FEATURED POETS from the main
   Poetry Super Highway page.

   ~ Submit your work for consideration for featured poet of the week.
   Information available online.  (Click on SUBMISSION GUIDELINES from
   the PSH main page.  All submissions are saved for new consideration

   of Manhattan in '80's and '90's. There are 25 tracks many from live
   performances. Early favorites, new works and a few songs are

   That's right kids, UNLIKELY STORIES, at http://go.to/unlikely, is
   now publishing again! As if you didn't get enough of it the first
   time!

   From summer of '98 to the summer of 2000, Unlikely Stories brutally
   irritated its readers with monthly tomes of the offbeat, weird, and
   creepy in contemporary literature. After a horrible accident with an
   electric rice-picker and a black-and-white TV, it looked like the
   journal was at its end, but lo! Resurrection!

   This month, Unlikely Stories has fiction from B. Z. Niditch, Elisha
   Porat, Nicholas Morgan, Bryan Nally, Dino Parenti, Derick Varn, Bill
   Berry, and Sam Vaknin....

   And poetry from C. J. Sage, J. Peter Mishler, Sam Vaknin, Elisha
   Porat, Ward Kelley, J. Watters, John Sweet, Michelle Maihiot,
   Christopher Mulrooney, L. B. Sedlacek, Roberta McQueen, Alex
   Migliore, Alec Kowalczyk, J. Kevin Wolfe, Donald Ryburn, Duane
   Locke, Jonathan Penton, Ruth Latta, Holly Day, Michael B. Zack,
   Nora Peevy, Jamie Cavanagh, Maree Jaeger, Andrey Kneller,
   and Steve Youmans.

   So put that back in your nose and come on down! We've got something
   for everyone, and if we don't have anything for you, you'd better
   pretend that we do, or you'll feel all alone!
