Benjamin Cartwright is a PhD candidate in creative writing at the University of Kansas.  His poems and prose poems have appeared in several journals, including Organization and Environment and Fract/ons.  He also recently had a prose poem accepted for publication in Sentence: A Journal of Prose Poetics.  He periodically interviews poets and writers in the Lawrence, KS area for his Kansas Blotter interview series.  Recently, he interviewed Kansas poet Kenneth Irby, along with Kyle Waugh and Cyrus Console, the editors of Ken's newly collected poems The Intent On.  Ken's interview, and other recordings of Ben's have been sent to the PennSound archive.  Ben was once paid to dedicate a building with a poem.  He also once sold a 1978 Chevy Beauville 8-passenger van for a painting and a bottle of scotch.  When Ben's father learned of the sale, he was quoted as saying "That guy got screwed!"

I have bowled with Ted Enslin, had a catch with George Bowering, 'quarreled' with Christian Bök, made a pass at Lisa Jarnot, had Anne Waldman put her bare feet up on my dashboard, personally pissed off Michael Ondaatje. "All the biggies."

I just have language, my notorious dancing ability and rhythm. It makes me the perfect target.

I'm a writer and a student in the graduate writing program of the University of Kansas. I live in Kansas City with my wife, three cats and two dogs. I grow delicious vegetables.

NCB, writer-ordinaire.

Writers in Kansas.

DaMaris is a student in the PhD English-Creative Writing Program. She is a graduate of Morgan State University with a MA in English. Her story "On the Other Side of Heaven - 1957" won the 2003 Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Award for Short Fiction. Her fiction frames issues race and gender within the context of capitalism and marginalization using various settings around the globe. The majority of her poetry is spiritually based and addresses issues of gender, race and identity in a Capitalistic society. Eager to express the lives and accomplishments of underrepresented women, she is currently writing a novel about female juvenile delinquents during the Great Depression. Some of her writing is published in the Bermuda Anthology of Poetry, African American National Biography Project, Warpland, Mourning Katrina: A Poetic Response to Tragedy, Women in Judaism and The Sable Quill. She recently served as the co-editor of the 2008 NWP, Professional Writing Retreat anthology. She chose the University of Kansas because the Department of English offers an eloquent blend of diverse scholars and writers within one community.

I have to be in a certain mood to do "about me" . . . and I'm not. Soon?!
