Semezdin Mehmedinoviæ was born in Bosnia. As war raged in Bosnia-Hercegovina, he remained active in Sarajevo's resistance movement. Before coming to the United States as a political refugee, he worked as a journalist, columnist, and an editor of the magazine "Phantom of Liberty." He has published several books of poetry in his native Bosnia. Two of his books, "Sarajevo Blues," (1992) and "Nine Alexandrias," (2003), were published by City Lights.

Brian Broduer is a poet and the author of the chapbook "So the Night Cannot Go On Without Us" and winnner of the University of Akron Press' 2007 Akron Poetry Prize for his first collection, "Other Latitudes". Give him enough drinks and find out why friends call him Sugarbear.

We met singer/songwriter Rocky Jones back in September. He's like an iron fist in a velvet glove. Or is it a velvet fist in an iron glove? Rocky Jones is good at what he does.

Ramtin Arablouei is an Iranian-American poet/spoken-word artist, musician, and actor. He played a leading role in the 2004 play Citizen's Patrol at the H Street Playhouse and he currently plays percussion for the DC based band Drop Electric. He'll be wearing the poet/spoken-word artist hat for this.
Hope to See You There,
Joe
