After
wintering in the wilds of Scioto County on the
bend of Upper Twin Creek, Strange is returning
to town and theatrical pursuits and the continued
hosting of Inktank's Moveable Feast poetry

After
Patrick featured in November of 2003, he serialized
his Growing Up Jimmy chap Book in Dayton
City Paper, also returning to semantikon for a period
as a regular columnist writing his infectious and
invectively funny Dorothy and the Snake Handlers. Presently,
Patrick is finishing up with his memoir writing students
at Stivers School and making way to move to New Mexico
in July.

After
his feature in January 2004, Michael toured in support
of his Some Girls chap Book also completing
work on various short film projects.
Look to semantikon in late summer for news about
the release of Crossley's book.

Bess
Miller, whose book, From Kentucky Roots, was published
in October of 2003, continues to write poetry,
as well as essays, and short historical pieces,
some about her ancestors. Bess is a genealogist,
and it is natural that some of her research finds
it way into her poems and other writings. She is
also writing a book for children--not a picture
book--but a book aimed at 4th--6th graders. She
tells us it is almost finished and promises to
stick with it until there is a satisfactory ending.

T.M.
Weygand is still living in Richmond, Virginia, and
is currently working on a new collection of poetry,
tentatively titled Revival. Ms. Weygand has found
new inspiration for her poetry as her goals and lifestyle
have moved in a different direction, as she will
be enrolling in culinary school this fall. En route
to her new career as a chef, she will continue to
write during this new and exciting phase of her life.
