Christopher Bursk is a poet and high school English teacher who lives in Langhorne Manor, Pennsylvania.
moreDavid C. Childers is a law student and poet. He lives in Lillington, N.C. What he says about law school is unprintable, but he’s half through and says “it’s easier to exist.”
moreNyle Frank plays the piano at Colonel Chutney’s in Chapel Hill and the Irregardless in Raleigh. He used to publish the Centipede, a newsletter which kept everyone up to date on the King’s ruminations. The King — the self-proclaimed King of the Invisible Kingdom of America — was Nyle himself. That was nearly ten years ago, but Nyle’s familiar loping gait and white tee-shirt are still visible.
moreLouise Harris lives in Durham and is going to get married.
morePeny Prestini is one of the founders — with her husband, Michaell, and Jach Purcell — of the Synergy Foundation, now located in San Francisco. A spirit entity, “Lazaris,” speaks through Jach, and Peny writes, “Lazaris is booked into February, 1981, and the once-a-month workshop he does is becoming a warm gathering of people who are adjusting to his refusal to be a father-figure or guru for them.”
moreSy Safransky is editor of THE SUN.
moreRoger Sauls is the author of Light (Loom Press). A Chapel Hill poet, he is now involved in the judging of the Saxifrage Prize, a $1,000 award to the best small press volume of poetry published in 1978-79. For more information, write him at 36-C Stratford Hills, Chapel Hill, N.C. 27514.
moreDr. C. Norman Shealy is a highly-acclaimed neurosurgeon with unimpeachable credentials who is openly critical of the medical establishment. In 1976, he opened his now-famous Pain and Health Rehabilitation Center near La Crosse, Wisconsin.
