Mick
Parsons lives and writes in Roselawn, a suburb in the shadow
of Cincinnati, Ohio. When he’s not writing, he teaches
composition part-time at
several area universities, covertly encouraging student
rebellion, and ensuring he will never be hired full time.
He also teaches teen poetry workshops and on occassion,
and sits at home drinking home brew while talking about
"getting out and socializing one of these days."
Mick is currently working to develop and set up The One-Legged
Cow, a small press which is slated to launch April 1st,
2005.

portraiture
You
tell me to celebrate the mutilated world;
but I think we’ve hurt ourselves enough for one day.
Old
men sit on bus stop benches and nod a lot because they seem
to know.
I hope they do. Otherwise, their heads will
roll off for no reason.
The world mutilated has taken from them,
left their heads nodding for balance.
Meanwhile in the museum:
portraits of long dead forefathers are gawked at
by students who also spit on their elders.
They are seven years old and should know better.
