	Barbara Adams ABOUT THE WRITER: Barbara Adams has published a chapbook and 2 books of poems, most recently The Ordinary Living(2004). She has also published a book on Laura Riding, writes creative nonfiction and short stories, and performs/writes for the Mohonk Mountain Stage Company in New Paltz, a readers’ theatre.
	Nicole Chu ABOUT THE WRITER: Nicole Chu is no longer homeless and almost a New Yorker. Addicted to drinking chicken noodle soup. Pronounces courteous “court-e-ous.” Hyphenated four times. Loves her family. Wakes up at three. Eats five times a day. Big dreams. Medium waist. Smiles always. No secrets except stealing a ridiculous amount of plastic spoons from Whole Foods.
	Peter Olson ABOUT THE WRITER: Peter Olson was born in Houston, Texas, grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, and somehow doesn’t have an accent. He serves as the coordinator of the Yankee Rep writer’s workshop, has read his work in a number of small rooms across New York City, and been “published” in numerous little-seen online magazines. His day job is as a web designer for Marvel Comics, and he is pleased reading again at Telephone Bar & Grill.
	Matthew Arkin ABOUT THE WRITER: Matthew Arkin has been an actor, a lawyer, a bartender, a real estate agent, and a limousine driver. He has studied photography and knitting, written a mystery novel, been a practicing Quaker, joined weird New Age, Pseudo Zen Hare Krishna sects, and is now committed to Judaism. Yet none of this has brought him the true inner fulfillment he so desperately craves, so now he’s going to try his hand at fiction. Like any true artist, he knows that the only opinion of his work that matters is his own, and he rests secure in the knowledge that no matter what you think tonight, your reception will be warmer than the one given to the last show he was in. Let’s all hope he quickly moves on to other pursuits, and finds the peace and happiness he so richly deserves.
