Diane Funston, from Volume 2:2

Diane Funston has been active in San Diego poetry, including the San Diego Poetry Annual, Magee Park Poets, GUTS, Summation, and most recently Lucid Moose of Long Beach. She co-founded the women's writing group SILK in Escondido, CA, and is a member of Writers and Books in Rochester, New York, her hometown. She divides her time between a home in Central Nevada and a cabin in the mountains in Tehachapi, CA. She holds a B.A. in Literature and Writing from CSU San Marcos.

Take a peek at one of Funston's two poems in Volume 2:2, "Applications":

I tone down the possession of imagination,
pledge allegiance to authority,
polish policy and procedures to a high gloss;
denounce Satan in the form of Poetry,
and declare a chain of command for the universe.
