' Obedience is dedicated to the word "this" because it 's the fundamental tautological pronoun, a prime word, the language's Periodic Table: "This is this."'
Chris Vitiello lives in Durham, NC with his two daughters. His most recent poetry book is Obedience (Ahsahta, 2012), a doubled aphoristic series within two front covers. Other books include Irresponsibility (Ahsahta, 2008) and Nouns Swarm A Verb (Xurban, 1999). When he's not putting on poet's plays in spaces around town or writing custom poems as the Poetry Fox, Vitiello is a freelance arts, performance, and hockey writer for various newspapers, magazines, and blogs.

"for want of government, and out of indiscretion and ignorance, they suffer themselves wholly to be led by sense, and are so far from repressing rebellious inclinations, that they give all encouragement unto them, leaving the reins, and using all provocations to further them yes ! our Rarity ! our Flaw ! our sole & one ADVANTAGE !" (Journey to the Sun)
Brent Cunningham is a writer, publisher and visual artist living in Oakland, California.
