Steven B. Smith =artist, editor, poet, archivist. man he just does it all. cleveland guy till 08.06, when he sold and gave away all of his art and everything he owned (even Green Panda books!) and took the wife to Europe indefinitely.Greg Bandy, the Mayor of Harlem and a lifetime Clevelander is a drummer and a sonovabitch. Jim Lang and Daniel Thompson are two Cleveland poets who straightened me out one time...Enku was a master carver of more than 100,000 buddhas in his lifetime, in 17th century Japan. Mister Andy Anderson lived and played mad sax until he was 92 yrs. old. long ago he 'let that Mingus kid sit in', played with Billie for awhile in CA and blew baby. ahahahaand a dbl. Haha.
also pretty dern fond of Max Perkins, who was a Virgo (sign of the Critic) /Libra (sign of the Lover of Beauty).

Green Panda Press is a Cleve. pub serving PoArtry & Proses at happy hour prices. confounded in 2000, Bree started making books bound in dental flosses and dbl.-sided window insulation tape. soon she smartened up and bought a forty doller stapleset, and yrs. later a hole puncher well worth the money spent. (was hard to get the incisor thru 10+ sheets) among the dead poets she quoteth: Patchen, Crane, levy & Hughes. for some reason she does come across as bein partial to Cleve.-related.
