Book excerpt: There are three different categories of work contained herein: Poetry, Prose and Art. Some people have work in only one category, others in two or even three of these. Our editors have done their best to include the finest examples of all three. Many of these poets and artists have also performed at our monthly Broadway Bards Performance Nights; for others our first acquaintance is contained herein. Although Bards is based in Northwest Ohio and many of the artists represented here live in the area, we have included work from poets and artists ranging from as far away as Columbus, Cincinnati and Akron in Ohio, one currently lost in the inner spaces of New Jersey and another that loses time in Jamaica.
