ELIZABETH MARINO was recently interviewed and reviewed by the editor of the London-based Femficatio. "There are some defining moments of celebration here, but what largely remains from reading Debris is a proper oxymoron – the ethereal poignancy of existence most severe, beautifully evinced through art’s filter. This small book deserves a very large space on every literature shelf." A second chapbook is due out at the end of the year, from Dancing Girl Press. Her work has appeared in anthologies, journals, and on performance stages throughout the area.
TIMOTHY DAVID REY is a Chicago-based writer/performer whose plays and performance pieces have been seen and heard around Chicago and out of state. His new book is entitled LITTLE VICTORIES: POETRY AND PERFORMANCES and is available at Lulu.com. He is the president of NewTown Writers, one of the nation's longest LBGT Writing Groups. You can find and “like” Timothy Rey on Facebook!
NEWTOWN WRITERS, founded in 1982, was created with the mission of fostering queer literature through workshops, readings, publications, performances and promotion of LGBT writer's work. They are committed to reaching beyond the traditional borders of community by welcoming writers of all levels and from all communities including academic, medical, journalistic, youth and established artists. They hope to broaden and give expression to the collective voice of their community as the longest-running LGBT writer's group in the United States.
