"Matt
is a true Brutarian, a self-taught painter who, despite having his work
extensively shown and written about, has little interest in becoming
part of the art network. Sesow appears unconcerned with communicating
in the accepted tropes of the professional; he defers to no recognized
code, nor to the rules of any recognized idiom. "Crude!" "Unfinished!"
"Aberrant!" the boulevardier may jeer, but it may well be
that Matt's approach results in a creative range beyond the normal compass
of our responses. . .Perhaps not, nevertheless, Mr. Sesow has created
a fascinating body of work." |

A D Dawson lives in the market town of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England. He has regularly contributed to The Dream Zone magazine and also appeared in, "Sick: An Anthology of Illness." As graduate in literature, the writer, A D Dawson is fascinated by the story telling of the Victorian writers. Dark gothic tales, such as Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights (1847), fuel his imagination with their foreboding corners and shadows. Furthermore, the Victorian ghost story, such as Henry James' The Turn of The Screw (1898) and Margaret Oliphant's various short tales of the unseen, bring to him a world that is haunted by a sense that the living and the dead, the past and the present, the banal and the bizarre... are divided by no more than a whisper. It is from this world that Dawson draws his inspiration for his own tales... You can visit his web site at www.dodsleypages.com. |

Pugnacious Jones was born in Boise, Idaho, in the year 1809. After his parents' untimely demise in a tragic horse and buggy accident, he was raised by his uncle, a horse farmer and trader of horses, who was eventually flattened in a stampede as the young Jones looked on. He later graduated from the University of Idaho, where he studied animal husbandry, with an emphasis on horses. After working unsuccessfully as a jockey, during which time he was nearly crushed to death by a rabid horse on steroids, the diminutive Jones served two years in the U.S. Army. It was at this time that his first book was published, The Revenge of the Jockey & Other Poems (1827). He was later appointed to the U.S. Military Academy, but was expelled after only a few months for "accidentally" mutilating the dean's horse. In 1836, Jones married his young cousin Alabama. However, she was trampled by a horse and confined to a wheelchair shortly after their marriage. Jones's works centered on equestrian themes. Some of his famous poems include "The Horse (Parts Front & Back)" (1831), "The Horse (Parts Inbetween)" (1845) and "Horseflesh" (1849). Short stories of note include "The Purloined Horse" (1844), "The Fall of the Horse of Usher" (1839), and "The Tell Tale Horse" (1843). In 1847, Jones's wife Alabama was trampled by a horse again and confined this time to a coffin. Jones went on a mad killing spree, slaughtering or at least trying to slaughter every horse he could get his hands on, but was soon hunted down and summarily executed by intelligent but vengeful horses from outer space. |

Scott Malby was contacted for a short bio. His answering machine said he was on vacation, spending a few weeks visiting the first part of the 20th century where he hopes to experience that "Golden Period" of English and American poetry for himself. He was overheard at his favorite bar to lamment: "When Auden split everything went to hell. I wish Pinsky and Collins would trade places with him. Not forever mind you, just a little while. I don't know who we could get to nudge Frost out of his repose. Better let his sleeping dog lie." |
