Bios:
Caryn Baruch
Caryn Baruch co-featured at the Back Fence with Allan Goldschmidt. Also being a musician, she co-featured at an afternoon recital at Queensborough Community College back in 1990. Caryn had her first untitled poem published without permission in her senior high school yearbook, but her latest poem, Black Potion, is in the Winter 2009 edition of Nomad's Choir.
Suzanne Kaufman
Suzanne Kaufman has been writing songs and poetry since the age of 8. She was co-founder of both the 'Scribblers' writing group on Manhattan's Upper West Side in the 1970's and the Soulstice Movement, which presented readings and workshops in Santa Cruz, California in the late 1990's.
Janet Wolfman
Janet Wolfman is one of the original Village People having lived in the West Village for over 40 years. She studied art, acting and dance with some of the best teachers in the world but was unable to have a professional career because of the logistics of balancing being a single mom and the rigors of her chosen profession. "But when I saw Riverdance, there was something that resonated in me and I knew that was what I wanted to do." She went from Irish step dancing to playing the Bodhran Irish drum to A Cappella Irish singing called sean-nos, which is plain singing, the Irish form of a musical newspaper. Ms. Wolfman believes that the rhythm and message of Irish music is the rhythm of the universe, which unites us all and wants to share it. She is also passionately devoted to keeping live popular entertainment alive and kicking. No electricity, no amps, just people enjoying and having fun.
John Amen
John Amen is the author of two collections of poetry: Christening the Dancer (Uccelli Press 2003) and More of Me Disappears (Cross-Cultural Communications 2005), and has released two folk/folk rock CDs: All I’ll Never Need (Cool Midget 2004) and Ridiculous Empire (2008). His third poetry collection, At the Threshold of Alchemy, will be released by Presa in 2009. He is also an artist, working primarily with acrylics on canvas. Further information is available on his website: www.johnamen.com. Amen travels widely giving readings, doing musical performances, and conducting workshops. He founded and continues to edit The Pedestal Magazine (www.thepedestalmagazine.com).
Mary Orovan
For Mary Orovan, all of nature, and even the cosmos, can be metaphors for the human experience. Her poems, with their quirky imagination and lyrical language, have appeared in Art News, Avocet, A Journal Nature Poems, The Fourth River, Hidden Oak, Freshwater and other publications. Her debut chapbook, Green Rain, was recently published by Poets Wear Prada Press and received great reviews from Peter Leverich, editor (Avocet, A Journal Nature Poems). Contact her at freoro2@yahoo.com.
Esther K Smith
Esther K Smith is a proud member of the e-mail poetry group Brevitas. She wrote and co-designed three books for Random House: HOW TO MAKE BOOKS, MAGIC BOOKS & PAPER TOYS, and forthcoming, THE PAPER BRIDE. She collaborates with Dikko Faust and other artists and writers at Purgatory Pie Press to make limited editions and artist books. Her poems have been published in CLWN WR, Live Mag, and White Rabbit.
