R. Nemo Hill

P Lovecraft; an illustrated novel, Pilgrim’s Feather (Quantuck Lane Press, 2002, with painter Jeanne Hedstrom); and a chapbook, Prolegomena To An Essay On Satire (Modern Metrics, 2006). His poetry and fiction have appeared or are forthcoming in Poetry, Measure,The Hypertexts, 14 by 14, The Chimaera, SCR, Umbrella and many other print and online journals. He has performed his work extensively in New York City at The Public Theater, The Cornelia Street Cafe, and The Stone, and is co-editor of Modern Metrics Press, a publisher of fine chapbooks

Patricia Callan, a Newton resident and Powow River Poets member, blends the worlds of literature and music.  Her book Out of the Case: Instruments on the Analyst’s Couch, a series of poems revealing the phobias and neuroses of musical instruments, will be published by Murmaid Press in July.  A play, Papa’s House, won the Loren Taylor Memorial Playwriting Contest.  She has collaborated with composer Yoko Nakatani on The Adventures of John Manjiro, a suite of pieces for piano and narrator which has its American premiere in July; and her poetry has appeared in Candelabrum, Red Lights, The Lyric and other publications.
