Denise Duhamel, Miami
Denise Duhamel's most recent poetry titles are Two and Two (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2005), Mille et un sentiments (Firewheel Editions, 2005) and Queen for a Day: Selected and New Poems (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2001). Her other titles include The Star-Spangled Banner (winner of Crab Orchard Award in Poetry, Southern Illinois University Press, 1999) and Kinky (a book of poems devoted to Barbie dolls, Orchises Press, 1997).
Duhamel has read her work on NPR and, in the fall of 1999, was a featured poet on the PBS special Bill Moyers "Fooling with Words." She is part of the Academy of American Poets "Exhibit of Poets."
Duhamel has also collaborated extensively with the poet Maureen Seaton--in Oyl (Pearl Editions, 2000) and Exquisite Politics (Tia Chucha Press, 1997). Duhamel's poems pirouette on a tightrope above the personal and the political, the spoken word and the page, the irreverent and the sacred. Her poetry is at home in such diverse anthologies as The Unbearables; Aloud:Voices from the Nuyorican Poets Café; and The Best American Poetry. (1993, 1994, 1998, and 2000). Booklist said of Duhamel's poems in The Star-Spangled Banner: "So overwhelming is her relish for life that embarrassment, or titillation when the subject is sexual, just doesn't stand a chance. Life-affirming without being treacly, Duhamel is a character who assures us the world is full of character."
Elsewhere, Duhamel has been cited as "politically upfront...with a sense of constant, incipient irony" (American Book Review), "wonderfully unpredictable" (Indiana Review), "preserving chaos from the chaos of memory" (Chelsea), and "establishing the ordinary home as the site of myth." (American Letters and Commentary). William D. Waltz, in Rain Taxi, writes "As I read her work...I feel like I'm taking a sneak peek at the future: Duhamel hints at a poetry that transcends irony and alienation. There's plenty of
both here, but she's busy working them over...pushing so hard that the next step may be beyond what is known."
S. Preston Duncan, Richmond, VA
"I'm a local poet/painter (on my better days.) I consider most of my work to be socially conscious, and strongly believe the integration of the personal and political to be one of the most crucial aspirations of our movement."

"I am from all over and I just migrated [to Baltimore] because I am a military brat. My father is a retired 4 star general.

I am an R&B/Neo/soul singer who uses all of my emotions when performing. I also have been in the Adult Entertainment Industry for ten years."

Mallorie Nasrallah

"Over the years erotic photography has lost something. A photo is no longer viewed as good unless the model is a Barbie. I hate that, and every photo I take is a statement again it. The most important thing about a shoot for me is that the model leaves happy, with images she can be proud of. Being a woman I know that modeling is 'letting it all hang out" and that it involves a lot of trust. I hope that every girl I shoot can feel at ease while working with me."

Darryl R. Scott, Providence
Scott's Pulp Culture Blogspot
 "Ever since that special afternoon when my Mom took me to a see Dr. No, Goldfinger, and Thunderball, I've been a crazed, insatiable, Doomed Beyond All Hope Of Redemption movie junkie. However, by calling myself a 'critic,' I spray a glossy veneer of respectability on my addiction. And whether it's a noisy, testosterone-fueled, adventure flick or a moody, character-driven B&W foreign film, I'm open-minded. I just want to see a good movie that has something to say. Admittedly, it's damned hard to find erotica that falls into the category of 'mediocre,' let alone 'good'. Still, in this column, I want to explore the X-rated ambitious failures that almost hit the bull's-eye."
Aaron J. Wald, Minnesota

Ron Weisberg, Austin
