David Kopaska-Merkel writes fiction, poetry, and reviews from the land where the tusks are looser. By day he describes rocks and the holes within them for the state of Alabama. He edits and publishes the venerable SF&F poetry magazine Dreams and Nightmares, and contributes flash fiction to www.dailycabal.com about twice a month. A passel of artists keeps every surface in the house covered except his keyboard. Check out his most recent chapbook "Drowning Atlantis," from Spechouseofpoetry.com.
