Most of the time I work in advertising, in the Calcutta branch of
Ammirati Puris Lintas. I was once a Special Student at Brown University.
I was also once an academic.
I write stories, features in the newspapers and poetry. I've had a book
of short stories published by Orient Longman and my poems have appeared
in an anthology of Indian women's poetry published by Penguin India.
I've had poetry published in Australia and Denmark.
Occasionally I attempt to write novels, but I don't think I've got that
right yet.

Eccentricity, Alsirat, Moonshade, Wired Heart, Snakeskin and The Pink Cadillac Review
all have or have had some of his work featured. He also has work forthcoming in The El
Dorado Poetry Review. His work tends to deal with symbols of boundaries and edges,
and what is forgotten or denied there, as well as the politics of identity. He also claims
to be carrying on a continuous struggle with patriarchy.

England contradancing and four-part a cappella Anabaptist hymn-singing. A baritone, he
wishes he could fly higher in the tenor parts. He never intended to become so monkish.

Laurie Klein grew up in a town no one's heard of with a maiden name no one can
spell. Reading, joking, debating, thinking--ideas were the coin of her family realm. A
rich legacy. She has spent that fold over the years in studios, on stage, and in
classrooms across the country. She and her husband share a good name(and a short one!),
two terrific daughters, and three wishes: to love wisely, to live in the moment, and to
reflect their Maker.
George Sanders tells us, "If I can't come up with a more sincere way to represent
how we experience phenomena in my work, liberally use indexical pronouns to disjoint the
responsibility to the text, and write a story that's not just crap--then I can at least
move from my hole in Chicago to a new one in Prague(with a brief stop over in
Paris)."
Paolo Palazzi-Xirinachs--Born in Boston of a Spanish mother and Italian father who met
