Mark Talacko

After graduating from Syracuse Mark Talacko roamed below the 49th parallel and grew bored and impatient. Now he is East, a Chinese city just above the crab line, at work on a novel and a collection of short stories, fighting off the growing restlessness that brought him there. "Loving a Prostitute," comes from "Signs of a Horrible Feast: Poems written without conquest," a collection of poetry written and published by Mark Talacko and Timothy Davids (Community Books, 2001). "Signs" presents two new and differing voices writing to be heard, writing to challenge hearts and minds, and satiate the need to transpose the things within upon a page. Copies of "Signs" are available by writing to Mark Talacko (xiamenkid@hotmai.com) or Timothy Davids (timothydavids@hotmail.com). Signed copies available upon request.

Aria Tesolin, aka Ambrosia: Rising female vocalist Aria Tesolin has a mesmerizing signature soprano voice that lights up the room and has been described by her fans as ethereal, majestic and breathtaking. Aria’s new EP, released in early 2012, features an alluring mix of original love songs, in a pop-classical meets adult contemporary style, that conjure the romance, glamour and beauty of yesterday’s timeless crooner songs, reinterpreted for a modern time. A masterful soloist, Aria performs a range of original soft pop, jazz crossover and crooner songs, classical songs, and selected opera arias.
Born in Mississauga, Ontario, Aria’s charismatic performances as a child opera singer in concerts with Canadian tenors became legendary on YouTube, where they reached an international audience of 7 million people. There, she inspired music fans of all ages with her musical talent, among them a 4 year old Jackie Evancho. Following the release of her debut opera album, Baby Soprano, at the tender age of 12, Aria’s operatic vocal talent was featured nationally on major Canadian news networks and several television shows.

He was born in 1922, the same year as Kurt Vonnegut, Jack Kerouac, and Howard Zinn, though he rarely esteems himself worthy of such marvelous company. His poetry has appeared sporadically over the years in many journals that are now defunct, such as: Backboard Quarterly, Sign Waves, The Hemlock Review, Time & Again, Gone Fishing, Glossolalia, Fail Swoop, The Vicambulist, and Zero Ducats.
