Randall
Fleming
Randall Fleming is a former magaZine publisher, photographer, production
artist, fanzine writer and poet provocateur of nearly nineteen years
in Los Angeles (and a bit in New York) for more publications than
what this space cares to accommodate. He has toured as an audio engineer,
a spoken word artist, and occasionally just because continental crossing
clears his cloudy head. He is dead damn sure that Ms. Los Angeles
is still angry at him for running off with Lady New York; she even
had the bastard arrested at LaGuardia Airport the first time he tried
to return home to the bosum of the former, but he is trying to be
loyal. Really, he is.

carrier and visual effects coordinator for Spider-Man 2 to name a
few. A long time contributor to the LA poetry scene she has hosted
numerous readings starting at the Iguana Café and currently
as emcee of the Poets Beyond the Half Shell series at Beyond Baroque

the inclusion of such luminaries as Laurel Ann Bogen, Marjorie Agosin
and Dorothy Baressi on its pages. Ms. Archibeque also edited and published
the Los Angeles anti-zine, Fuck This Shit. Additionally, she made
her mark as a journalist in the literary community beginning as the
reviews editor for Next…Magazine, the popular Orange Country
based poetry magazine that morphed into the online zine, Southern
California Poetix where she currently writes the LA Poetry Events
page and Poetry Matters, where she interviews and reviews poetry and
poets of note. In addtion to her poetic pursuits, she co-edits the
creative non-fiction section of the online political journal The November
