Frisco is a mysterious man.
Poetry Editor
Sandy Novotny
Sandy is a writer who married a painter and birthed a photographer so it's no surprise art is her passion. As a hoarder of both physical and digital books, she looks forward to the day when she can become a hermit and immerse herself in her collection. The writing that most appeals to her is that which reveals truth, especially of difficult subjects, and allows the reader to digest and internalize that truth. As Ernest Hemingway once said, "Write the truest sentence that you know."

Tabitha Novotny
Tabitha loves the raw expression of emotion that art can bring out. Art should create images in your mind, much like writing does, causing you to be consumed by a new consciousness. On a personal note,
Tabitha is of the desert
Will be the desert
Hates writing bios
And wants sleep
