Rose M. Smith is a shy, quiet poet who's lived most of her life in Columbus, Ohio--a conversational voice heavily informed by human situations and emotion. Voted "poet most unlike herself at the mic," she has been known to silence an unruly room when her poems begin to speak. Her work has appeared in Chiron Review, The Iconoclast, Good Foot, Pavement Saw, Concrete Wolf, Boston Literary Magazine, The Examined Life, Main Street Rag, and The Pedestal Magazine, and other journals and anthologies. Rose reads throughout the midwest--she'll make a jaunt cross country if she's needed (you pay for it). She has been called "a quiet visionary spanning the worlds of performance poetry and literary print! challenging and enriching the norms of both. She is an associate editor at Pudding House Publications and author of Shooting the Strays (Pavement Saw Press, 2003) and A Woman You Know (Pudding House Publications, 2005) and is featured in the Poets' Greatest Hits collection now managed bt Kattywampus Press.

To Belt or Not to Belt

I've been approached by Ed Mabrey and advised that Scott has decided not to field a team for Rust Belt Regional this year. Comes as a tremendous surprise to me, since it has been a tradition at Columbus that the Nationals team go to Rust Belt as sort of a proving ground, a practice session of sorts. Ed has found other poets who want to go and he's looking for a Rust Belt vet or seasoned multi-city slammer to send with them. I'll have to think hard about this. I am feeling a little like sandwich filling.
