Our writers
possess a passion for transforming words into transcendent results.
With panache the six poets 
WEST BANK give us vers libre that cuts a wide and eclectic swath from Magpies who "collect words that glitter and shine" to Christopher Columbus: "This time, he shaved real close
and lit a candle in the Basilika de St Angelo...."
Tanka, sijo, ghazal and haibun show the skill of the  EAST BANK poets who built a road from "Hollowed out dreams stand starving, with stomachs bloated and empty" all the way to "When on high, we wandered Babylon, cruised parking lots, Circle K, the Church of Christ, in a Ford Centurion."

'Literature' is an institutional label that gives us reason to expect that the results of our reading efforts will be 'worth it'.
