Poetry Motel. Her first book of poetry, The Secret Box, was published in
September, by Mayapple Press. Her second book, My Florida, will be published
by Backwaters Press, Summer 2007. She currently teaches at a public school
in Los Angeles.  
James Ysidro has been living and working in the Los Angeles basin for over
seven years now. Sometimes, he thinks this is because he was especially
villainous in a previous life. He first started writing poetry in his early
twenties, but can no longer remember why. He suspects illicit drugs played a
part. Since then, he has continued to write on and off (mostly off) in order
to reap some of the tremendous fame and fortune accorded to poets in
21st-century America. He has been particularly influenced by the writings of
two Johns: Ashbery and Cage. But, if you're fortunate, he might spare you
from having to sit through most of the really long and really boring pieces
he has written in emulation of either writer. He is currently hard at work
on a ten-line autobiography craftily written in the third-person. He
suspects it will prove to be his magnum opus.
