J.E. Stanley is an accountant and on again/off again guitarist from the grayscale suburban wilderness of Northeastern Ohio where he is lucky enough to hang out with the Deep Cleveland Poets and the Cleveland Speculators. He is the author of Dark Intervals (vanZeno Press), Dissonance (Deep Cleveland Press) and co-author, with Joshua Gage, of Intrinsic Night (Sam’s Dot Publishing). His work has appeared in Amaze, Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, Cinema Spec, the Deep Cleveland Junkmail Oracle, Paper Crow, The Rhysling Anthology, Scifaikuest, Sein und Werden, Star*Line, Sybil’s Garage and numerous other mainstream and genre publications. He continues to assert that, winged or not, Man was always meant to fly; the moon and stars were just put there as incentives.

Not sure. I had hoped to have them ready by then. But family issues took up my day today and it's not looking good. Definitely by the end of the week....

Dear Jim, you are very welcome. A huge thank you to YOU as well for granting me the pleasure and privilege of publishing this fine collection of poems.
P.S. I got a little behind thanks to family hospitalizations, the Thanksgiving holiday and my short bout with the flu, but I hope to have your chapbook assembly finished today finally.

Have finally had time to sit down and read it through.. a nice publication John... really nicely done. And a fine set of poems by Jim Stanley.
And really do love the cover. I think Steve's photos the finest around. I'm so glad so many of us have found them to be just we are looking for to compliment our words in print.
Thank you for sending me a copy...
The quality of your work at the press of late should be something to be proud of... it seems publishing suits you and taps a number of your creative talents. Will look forward to see more in the future.
