Editors
Omar Azam
Editor-in-Chief
After many years admiring modern poets and venting poetic self-analysis
while acting like a scientist, Omar has declared his freedom by
becoming a literary activist. He has little formal training in
publishing beyond school projects. He feels that art has been
there for him through the hard times and likes to remind himself
to eat his own produce. He feels that it is much easier to take
on someone else's mindset than to find his own. He likes to weave
his artistry, humanity, and sensitivity to ethics into his other
interests of music, psychology, movement, and computers. He is
delighted to promote the work of these poets.
