About me I'm the author of "The Lost Country of Sight" which won the 2007 Philip Levine Prize and is due out fall 2008 from Anhinga Press. At one point in time I was also a computer games programmer -- but I repented of that and pursued an MFA in Creative Writing at the University of California-Riverside instead. I'm currently working on a PhD in Literature & Creative Writing at USC. In my spare time, I edit and manage Boxcar Poetry Review (www.boxcarpoetry.com)
About my library Mostly contemporary American and Canadian poetry, with a particular focus on Asian American poets and first books of poetry.

Luis Omar Salinas is one of my favorite poets
and I had the pleasure of meeting him a few
years ago.

I've been to your webzine and your website and both are very, very impressive. Like you, I'm a poet, a bit older, lived in L.A., best friend went to UCR. Sounds like you got your teaching gig. Good for you! How do you like living in Canada, as opposed to SoCal?
My 16th collection of poems is due out later this year. I'm not sure you'd like my style, but I am pretty sure you'd like my dedication over the years....
Cheers!
Scott
