Jessica
Sholtis is the product of a pagan and jesus and spends her life
behind iron bars creating programs to prepare others for their next
life. She writes secret stories in secret places, storing them in
secret sanctums only to show them to secret strangers. Her secret
identity as a big ugly thing is to mislead Fame and her preoccupation
with the color orange is calculated to distract it further. She
has two children that manifest precociousness through Animal Planet
and computer mouse clicks. Admit2 is Jessica’s debut into the
literary world.
Steve
Goldberg is a techno-geek, Dilbert cubical escapee, blogger, a
bodhisattva wannabe, and tongue-tied tattler of timid tomes. Launching
into a new experiment in neo-beat bohemianism, Steve has been
published in 30/25th's Not Just Any Versiaries, an email in the
talent-rich ArtCrimes 21, Rabbits Over Clevyland, Jim Lang’s Bag-o-Zines,
the e-zine TheCityPoetry.com, and Animals Without Backbones (Green
Panda Press). He has been a featured reader at many Cleveland area
venues, and has participated in the Language Foundry’s 24 hour
poetry marathon and Gallery Ü-Haul’s Mix: 24 hr Art program. In a
poorly veiled attempt at self-promotion, he has also been interviewed
on local poetry radio show, Wordplay, by renown poet George Bilgere.
Steve also organizes a monthly poetry free-for-all at the Literary Café
in the historic Cleveland neighborhood of Tremont.
