POETS OF THE WEEK

   ~ This weeks featured poets are 

   JOHN BUCHANAN (Hanford, California) loves poetry.  He takes
   medication fairly regularly.

   JIMMIE ARNOLD SANCHEZ (Los Angeles, California) was born in the
   Philippines but was raised in and around LA and is now a proud
   Valley girl.  He is currently a 4th-year sociology major/queer
   (LGBT) studies minor, waiting for UCLA to either kick him out or
   graduate him.  He is horribly terrified of both options, so he's
   buried his head in books of poetry.


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

   often profound"

   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!
