Some recent poems appear in Realpoetik, Raleigh Quarterly, Front Porch, The Cultural Society, and Handsome Journal. He co-edits Typo, an online poetry journal, and publishes Cannibal Books, a book arts poetry press. From 2005 to 2008 he curated The Burning Chair Readings in Brooklyn and now hosts irregular readings throughout the country. A special feature of Frank Stanford’s unpublished poems and fiction, selected by Henriksen, will appear in the upcoming issue of Fulcrum. He lives and teaches in the Ozark Mountains.

Gayle Bell is the witty and observant voice of the bus stop, political movements, the bi-sexual, the African American woman you’ll never convince that there’s no conspiracy, but who loves you anyway. She has several chapbooks of poetry and currently teaches an ongoing workshop in erotic poetics.
