Lane Browning has published numerous essays, investigative pieces, short stories, poetry, humor, and interviews in periodicals including The Los Angeles Times, The Miami Herald, The Oregonian, Portland Tribune, New Woman, OMNI, California Today, Cosmopolitan, Portland magazine, USAir, Rain City Review, and Reader's Digest. For more than seven years she was a columnist with Willamette Week; her feature, "Whiplash," was the paper's most popular entry and was syndicated nationally. She has also edited books, articles, and documents both for large organizations and individuals. She taught fiction classes for Oregon Writers Workshop and the Mountain Writers Center in Portland.
Leanne Grabel is the author of numerous books of poetry and illustrated poetry, including Short Poems by a Short Person, Anne Sexton Was a Sexpot, Flirtations, and Lonesome and Very Quarrelsome Heroes. Grabel’s poetry-based theatrical shows “One Woman Shoe,” “The Circus of Anguish and Mirth,” “Anger: The Musical,” and “The Lighter Side of Chronic Depression,” have been performed on various Portland stages. Grabel graduated from Stanford University, has just finished an autobiographical novel entitled Rape Sandwich, and is beginning work on a performance piece about her students.
Doug Marx's poems have appeared in Harper's Magazine, Willow Springs, Hubbub, Takeout and many other publications. His chapbook Sufficiency was an Oregon Book Award finalist in poetry. Family man and musician, when he's not on stage in some local dive he can often be found at $3/$6 hold 'em poker tables in one casino or another, living the sportin' life.
