http://rope-a-dope-press.blogspot.com/ All rights reserved. About the Poets: Rauan Klassnik was born a long time ago. Rauan Klassnik is not dead, though he often sure-damned feels like it. Rauan's
primary goal in life is to live forever. Perhaps this explains why he has such a bad attitude. Rauan Klassnik does, though, believe in singing. Like Emily Dickinson on the charnel steps. His poems
have appeared many places and his first book, Holy Land, released April 1st (no joke) from Black Ocean. Justin Marks is the author of A Million in Prizes (New Issues Press, forthcoming 2009). His
latest chapbook is [Summer insular] (Horse Less Press, 2007). He is the founder and Editor of Kitchen Press Chapbooks and lives in New York City. Lisa Olstein is the author of RADIO CRACKLING, RADIO
GONE, winner of the 2005 Hayden Carruth Award, and LOST ALPHABET, forthcoming from Copper Canyon Press. She is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize and fellowships from the Massachusetts Cultural
Council and the Centrum Foundation. She is the Associate Director of the MFA Program for Poets and Writers at UMass Amherst.
