	It's No Secret - An interview with poet Nikki Giovanni by John Kryder
	Poetry is music though, unfortunately, not all music is poetry. Because music has other carriers to take its message—beats, lyrics, singers, bass players—anyone in music can rise to make a major statement but in poetry there are only words to do the work. And they do sometimes have to sweat.
	Breaking it Down by Rusty Barnes by Forrest Roth
	A s someone with plenty of eclectic fiction on his bookshelves, I admit there’s much to be said for authors who attempt true characters from their own sense of the commonplace—to most of us, perhaps, lives spent in exhausted locales we would pass without any generous contemplation—yet manage to subvert those stereotypes tempted, even expected. Before gleaning the stories of Breaking it Down, most set in bucolic portions of Pennsylvania, readers can already see the routine dilemma coming, of being caught between cliché and faithfulness.
	Chatter With the Mad Hatter by Forrest Roth
	An interview with Carol Novack, editor and publisher of Mad Hatters’ Review
	Literary Buffalo by Just Buffalo
