diversity. Combining a sassy sensibility with a loquacious socio-political and
spiritual awareness, Amy brings forth a fresh and solid energy. Check out some
of her work at <a href="http://www.amysteinberg.net/" target="_blank">www.amysteinberg.net </a>.</font></p>

<h3><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">April 20th Revisited</font></h3></center>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Jon Wolf</b> was the feature this week. He kicked off his
set with a longer piece that started with his amazing numerical creation piece
and continued with vibrant imagery describing the world of numbers. He closed
out his set with a couple of old favorites. This was excellent work. It's
easy to forget what great poets are in our midst. Thanks Jon.</font></p>
