Cunningham has a thing for Charles Simic and Yusef Komunyakaa. She is in an Oolitician--she lives in a very tiny town in Indiana called Oolitic, whose claim to fame is a statue of Joe Palooka in front of the town hall. She finds her inspiration in virtually anything, including episodes of "Bill Nye the Science Guy." She works full-time at a credit union, and goes to school full-time, and in between she occasionally gets to work in her yard. She is prone to dancing and singing on her front porch for the amusement of her neighbors. She didn't think the movie Titanic was anything she needed to see twice. Ryn Gargulinski is a writer and poet whose idols include Blake, Baudelaire and Manson. This graduate student also likes spiders, rats and beer -- and an occasional puppy with ketchup. Her poems disclose her love of nature and suicidal tendencies.

His hopes greatly outweigh his aspirations and his life is as meaningless as a stale twinkie. Although you might be surprised how much meaning you can get out of a twinkie if you just look.

Mena Thaler, the former managing editor of the Olivetree Review, is looking forward to her June '98 graduation from Hunter College. Striving for humor, she is finding her own witticisms drier and more drab, a certain indication that she is ready for the 9 to 5 world. A.M. Wheatley has been contributing to the 12-Gauge Review since its second issue. As this is her last issue while living in New York City, she wishes to send out her heartfelt love and appreciation to all the friends and family she has made through the writer's group and through 12-Gauge.
