<h2><font face="Times New Roman, Times"><b>About The Authors and Their
Books:</b></font>Corvus. Richard Taylor, former Poet Laureate of
Kentucky, refers to Corvus</i> as a compendium of crows. Mostly
written in what might be described as prose poems, Corvus</i> is a
combination of folklore, cultural archaeology, and pure
inventiveness. Sonnenschein s poetry has appeared in such
journals as The Iowa Review </i>and The Spoon River Poetry
Review.</i> She was also a contributor to Caduceus,</i> published
by the Yale Medical Group Art Place. </h2><br>
<br>
<br>
<h2><font face="Times New Roman, Times"><b>Elliot Torres</b></font> was
born and raised in Waukegan, Illinois. He moved to New York City in
1994 and received his BA degree in communications from Pace University in
1998. His first book, Five Years of Solitary</i>, containing poetry
he had written from May 1994 to September 1998, lets the world in on his
personal experiences and life in New York City as a young, gay Puerto
Rican man. His work has appeared in Next Magazine, QV, Gay City
News, </i>and Ambiente</i>. He resides in New York City.</h2><br>
