Mag Man Composing My Poetic Debacle (celebrating the Lakers championship with quiet relish...writing more poetry, et al....wondering about my ethos) view more
About me: Reclusive entity from the world's small presses, given to writing poetry, novels, short stories & promulgating them rather randomly for years throughout the universe, since early 1980s... Hey, here's the standard bio (& I'm an ancient dudester pushin' 60 sipping Dewar's):
"Peter Magliocco, writer/artist/editor, was raised in Southern California but has spent over 20 years editing the underground lit-zine, ART:MAG, out of Las Vegas, Nevada. His bio appears in the Marquis' Who's Who in America, 2004-06... Known as The Mag Man in small press circles, his futuristic novel, NU-EVERMORE, appeared in 2002 -- also later as an ebook -- via Trafford Publishing (in cooperation with his own Limited Editions Press). Another novel, HIAWATHA ROCKS, was published by Airleaf (www.airleaf.com), with a book of poetry & art, EX LITEROTICA, in '06 from Publish America (www.publishamerica.com)...."
Who I'd like to meet: Senior supervixens in hell, because they may cook better than mag man...No, just cool human beings interested in creative activities similar to mine.
Thank you so much for the add. I read your poety for the Pushcart Prize on the Literary House website. I really enjoyed it and looked you up on here. I must say that I am going to be going out to find your books. By the way- kudos for making me laugh about the Britney Spears being the anti-christ. That is great stuff.
