CONTRIBUTORS' NOTES


LISTED
below are the authors and artists published here in the Web version of Sins of Coffee.

Included after their name is their submitted bio. Well, many are only quasi-biographical as several of the entries are more descriptive of a fleeting mood rather than a life's accomplishments. But we'll leave the life's accomplishments to the resume writers. Here, the mood of a fleeting moment will not be cured.

After all, always remember the standard cure for a melancholy humour in Medieval days was a little session with some leeches.

No, no, no, there are enough leeches in this world without having to resort to them medically.


But I digress . . .

 


note: most of these bios were the same ones printed in the issue where their piece first appeared, so they are, therefore, years, out of date. For web links/emails, I try to keep those updated when I have the current information handy.

Prõzac: An Opera

Poem:

Gazpacho

DELIRIUM exists on this plane largely as a bewildered adolescent who surfaces periodically as a in the capacity of "DaDa Check", a reality check for those who are secure in their perception on the mundane, but strive to test their stability on more random levels. Occasionally she gets distracted, forgets her purpose, (which inevitably helps her to serve it all the better) and attempts to establish herself in a peer group whilst visiting this plane. "Initiation" is the result of one of the more prolonged periods of time during which she wandered these urban streets mumbling "but what was that thing again...?" and introducing herself to strangers because their aura smelled like chocolate-chip cookies. Enjoy. Or not, if you're that sort....

Poem:

Initiation

OMEWENNE GRIMSTONE is a miserable luminous would-be Crone who still lives alone with a black demon (Wednesday [her cat]) and no solace for the broken frame of her bitter romantic follies – grump, grump, grump.
