The thing is, though, is that he is a very well received poet, critic and editor who has had poems published in over 150 magazines around the world. Carnegie Mellon University Press recently published his first book of poetry, Astronaut, in the U.S. and he has two forfheoming vol- umes to be published in the U.K. by Arc. He is co-edi-1 tor, along with Andrew Zawacki, of the international John Findura Poetry • Short Stories literary magazine Verse. That's a pretty impressive Lit Editor gig, even more so once you find out he's held that Reflections • Parables position since 1995, when he was only 22. When, not doing other things such as founding Verse Press, he teaches creative writing at the University of Georgia. I had the chance to run a few questions past Brian last week and he was good enough to answer them for me.

TW? p??ms John Findura: You were only 22 when you became the co-editor of Verse. Did you find it difficult to gain respect from the poetry community at such a young age?
