Although his planet of origin is unknown, it's been established that Dave Lipscomb's embryo pod crash landed in Providence (during the so-called Summer of Love's transition into the Winter of Discontent that we all know and enjoy to this day). A recovering East Coaster living in Southern California, (where his alien ways are not nearly as bizarre as the specimens he encounters on a daily basis), his work can be seen in a few issues of The Dream People, the cover of the anthology Of Flesh and Hunger, the dark erotica chapbook Unknown Pleasures, and also on the upcoming John Edward Lawson novella Last Burn in Hell. His work has also appeared in numerous small press publications (and when we say "small," we're talking microscopic, folks). He has not won any awards, major accolades, cash, or women for his efforts and does not give a shit at this point. In his shoddy disguise as a human, it's rumored that he works for a gigantic corporation that specializes in mainstream polytheism. |

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." |
