He thinks his writing is beautiful even when it is not. Sometimes it is. His use of form and flow in his pieces is always inspired by music. His poems are informed by real life experience. To keep art inspired he has to take in more bullshit than he pumps out. The world is gross\, the summer is hot and the winter is cold. Either way the good stuff is outside.” \n“Jasper Jonosky “Jasper Jonosky is a rat bastard who lied and cheated his way here.” (Jonah thinks Jasper is super good [and beautiful] – modern beatnik type shit) \nJohn Wojtowicz grew up working on his family’s azalea and rhododendron nursery and still lives in the backwoods of South Jersey.

When not writing poetry\, he enjoys monitoring bluebird boxes\, flipping horseshoe crabs\, and rolling around in the yard.

She has two chapbooks\, postcards from glasshouse drive  and Puberty 2. She currently lives on Lenni-Lenape and Poutaxat land and you can find her on Instagram @lovlyno1. \nDaniel Zehner has had poems and haiku published in Paterson Literary Review\, Schuylkill Valley Journal\, The Main Street Rag\, Lips\, the Aurorean\, New Jersey Bards Poetry Review\, US 1 Worksheets\,  Frogpond\, several Haiku Society of America Members’ Anthologies\, and many Moonstone Arts Center anthologies.  He recently received an Honorable Mention in the 2025 Allen Ginsberg Poetry Awards sponsored by the Poetry Center at Passaic County Community College and has had a poem included in Speaking For Everyone\, An Anthology of “We” Poems edited by Eric Greinke.  He has had a collection of poems accepted for publication by Finishing Line Press due for release in October 2026.  He is a retired trial lawyer living in New Jersey. \nSean Hanrahan Host – Open Reading Follows
