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. Rose is a Cave Canem Fellow.

A One and a Two and a...

Just back from tonight's bout and fighting a grueling headache, so not much to say here. Just, "Whew!" We've made it through what may be our toughest bout of the prelims. Took a two: That means second place out of the five teams in a bout with absolutely tough judges. One judge was handing out an average 4.7 for every poet or performance down the pike. Great night! More later.

It sounds like you all rocked. And you, Rose, it sounds like you pulled down a great performance.

I wish I could be there rooting for you all in person. I'll have to settle for long-distance cheering. Or cyber cheering. Woo hoo!
