Charlie Getter
Most disagree with Charlie Getter's politics, from both the left and the right, or the center, not to worry, he disagrees with his politics as well. He says poems though...

Joel Landmine
Yeah, Well..., Joel Landmine's first collection of poetry, received a five star Amazon review from some dude who also gave a five star review to a 24-count box of Charleston Chews. So his poems are as good or better than a 24-count box of Charleston Chews. According to some guy in Utah.

Michael Hans Lawson
We all know him as "Mike the Bartender". He writes, he reads, he pours stiff ass drinks. And he makes sweet love to the microphone.

John Alfred Panzer
John Panzer screwed up, royally. One bad decision didn't cost him the man he loves; John's true talent is stringing together three or four bad decisions in a row...like good golf shots. Forgive him his writing - the wages of his betrayal, John is here to listen to Joel Landmine read anyway.
