Featured poets Brian E. Langston, Jennifer Blowdryer, David Salner

Jennifer Blowdryer got her dumb name from a punk band she sang with in San
Francisco, 1978. She’s somehow managed to navigate the intervening decades without
choking on her own vomit, and is here to entertain you with excerpts from her non
income generating books, Good Advice and Laziest Secretary, which Beppi illustrated.
She’ll bust out a couple of tunes as well. If you have an 86ed story to share,
contact her at Jenniferblowdryer.com, and you can look up other people’s stories
she’s collected at www.86edstories.com. Whose going to take her thrift store
shopping?

David Salner’s poetry is deeply influenced by the people he knew during the 25 years
he worked at manual trades. An iron ore miner, furnace tender, power plant laborer,
machinist, and garment worker, he lived in Minnesota, Arizona, Utah, and for many
years in West Virginia.
The author of three previous books, he
received a Puffin Foundation grant to study the real history behind the John Henry
myth. His work has appeared in Threepenny Review, Prairie Schooner, The Literary
Review, North American Review, Southern Humanities Review, Poetry Daily, and
Many other journals.
In recent years, Salner has taught writing and English as a second language; he
currently works as a librarian. He lives in Frederick, MD with his wife,
Barbara Greenway, a high school English teacher.

Brian E. Langston is a poet and fictionalist searching for beauty among the cracked
and broken streets of Baltimore. He is the author of the chapbook The Ruined City
and Other Poems, Assistant Editor for Poems Against War, a journal of peace and
protest poetry, and Founding Editor Into the Teeth of the Wind, a quarterly out
the University of California, Santa Barbara. His poems are forthcoming or have
appeared recently in Gargoyle, Loch Raven Review, Attic, and the Poetry In Baltimore
Anthology Octopus Dreams, and he has had short fiction published in the online journals
JMWW and the Hamilton Stone Review. You can visit him online at http://www.MayemOnward.com
