Mid-October 2008 - Untitled Lester Allen Lester Allen is based in the East somewhere and is part of the semi-infamous "Beard" movement. And this I stole from Kill Poet, "a part-time postal worker, Lester Allen works as little as possible and likes it that way. He enjoys getting disorientated as often as time allows and spending time with his dog, Jackson. When those obligations are fulfilled, he writes." And let me tell you, his writing kick your ass. Mid-October 2008 - Untitled Zachary Moll Zach Moll is another up and coming poet that will explode onto the underground scene w/force and might. Based in Ohio, Zach is a stellar poet w/an unassuming style and an uncanny confidence. You will like him more than pizza, well anchovy pizza anyway. Don't drag your ass and miss this one.
