Unfortunately the final reader of that evening, Matthew Klane, was not recorded due to technical difficulties. Our sincere apologies.

Adam Golaski, co-editor at Flim Forum Press and Horror Fiction Editor of New Genre, is known to a small—but devoted—group of fans as the lead singer of Outlet (1991 – 96), a two-man punk outfit formed in Woodland, Maine. Their best known recording, Letter to Mars, was distributed exclusively fan-to-fan on cassette—the original 4-track recordings, made in an Amherst College basement, were stolen. Outlet stepped into the studio once more in 2000 and recorded the raw stuff for a new album, as-of-yet unreleased. Two tracks from those sessions, “Why Worry Rosary” and “I’m Bored Airports,” became minor hits for Golaski, as he performed them at Boston area clubs. The other half of Outlet, Jeremy Withers, still works with Golaski in the capacity of graphic designer. Aside from the beautiful Oh One Arrow, Withers is also responsible for the look of New Genre #4.

John Cotter has published work in 3rd Bed, Goodfoot, Hanging Loose, failbetter, Pebble Lake, Coconut Poetry, The Columbian Journal of American Studies, and others. He lives in Cambridge where he's working on a novel. In 2007 his work will appear in Volt, Unpleasant Event Schedule, word for/word, and Oh One Arrow.

Jeff Paris lives in New York City. It just kind of happened. Or keeps happening. His job is getting groups of small children to sing and dance. No, really—that's his job. Check out New Genre, the journal he co-edits. His chapbook of prose poems is called “The Mothskull Windchime."
