- Linda
K. Sienkiewicz -
"Linda Sienkiewicz's poems are at the heart of every place:
in the wilderness of dreams, in the celebration of relationships, in
love and in trouble. She has a delightful way of fusing fact and imagination
in solid accomplishment. Her insight becomes our insight. Linda is chock
full of feminine power." -Stellasue Lee, poetry editor of RATTLE (in
Los Angeles)
- John D. Lamb —
Singer-songwriter John D. Lamb and founder of Springfed Arts
has spent most of his life in Michigan, but he writes songs as if he's
spent his whole life on the road - which, I suppose, isn't surprising
considering his busy touring schedule. A tireless performer, Lamb spends
quite a bit of time trekking around the state and nearby areas, continuously
winning new fans with his brand of Midwestern roots rock...
