          | Susan Solomon Editor
 |  | 
        
          | In another life, Susan cleaned funeral homes and vacuumed around the
           dead. An unspoken element of respect existed within that job. The 
           intimate invitation into people's lives is   never taken lightly. 
           Susan was a member of the 2009 Water~Stone Review 
           editorial board. Her work has appeared in The SUN 
           Magazine and Todd Boss' Flurry, and will appear in the
           upcoming edition of Simply Haiku.

          | Nate Thomas Poetry Editor
 |  | 
        
          | Nate Thomas prefers the Mel Gibson
           "Mutiny on the Bounty". A sailor in his youth (albeit his time 
           before the mast was short), he loves language that transduces 
           the movement of waves and leaves one feeling purposefully adrift 
           in the cosmic ocean. He hates writing that plays  hard to get (not 
           being sure if he means that as metaphor or pun), and opts for a 
           rough shag when rolling his own. He holds a Creative Writing BA 
           from Metropolitan State University and his writing credits are 
           too spare to mention. Instead, he writes his poetry on scraps 
           of paper and stuffs the poems into his pockets. The poems in 
           his pockets then roll up into hard little pills which he 
           eventually throws away...no, - wait...that was Dr. Reefy. 
           Nate lives in St. Paul, Minnesota with his wife and three sons. |

          | TJ began writing to discover the hidden mysteries of his mind, heart and soul. When that didn't work, he realized it was his only chance to woo women. That worked. |
