Hailing from the "Great Lakes" region of North America, Bruce Sommer ( aka B-man), returned from a long sabbatical to begin writing prose and short stories after a double-edged sword of close personal loss cut through his existence. He used prose as a lifeline and catharsis, offering token words to fill the consuming emptiness. After traveling from Ireland to the Dead Sea he now resides in the fabled "City by the Bay", where his words use imagery to convey the ideas, feelings and concepts the brush of grief paints across the canvas of all humanity. He prefers long walks with his surviving "family" of two dogs on isolated beaches shrouded in an almost perpetual coastal fog while he searches for that warm glow of love in life once more. |

The author is alive. (Sometimes I wonder.) He lives alone inside a mind threatening to cave in on itself. A daydream junkie, improbable fantasies are his stalk in trade; like imagining finding a publisher who will pay for his work. He is most profound when profoundly asleep. Nothing gets finished. The author may be lazy. Two things he says most often to himself: "Did I write that?" or "Where could I have stolen that from!" |

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." |
