Antonio Eramo is a New England poet that thinks far too highly of himself. Although his poetic journey began in the unstructured wasteland that is free verse he quickly transitioned to more traditional forms and in recent years has become a bit of stickler in regards to "proper poetry".

​

Antonio's work can be found in many  poetry journals (the most noteworthy being The Penman Review).

​

His published works:

The Day Prior

Cicadas Serenade

A Romeo Nation

Momentary Monet

Ron Conway is a cranky old man living and writing in rural British Columbia, Canada.

Slightly After Dark

Inspired Imagery

From the Rill

and has had his work featured in many anthologies.
