Contributor Bio:  Zakharin, Mishka Mishka Zakharin is the author of over a dozen collections of poetry and short fiction, as well as his on-going series of journalish ramblings 'Daemon Mishka'. Born (in 1970) and raised (or perhaps "razed") and continuing to exist in Wisconsin, Zakharin received his Bachelor of Arts at UW-Whitewater in 1992 - and deems his degree in English as a kind of "license to kill," proof of his qualification to advance the English language through his writing endeavors... more of his contributions to 21st Century Lit. may be experienced at The Official Mishka Zakharin Website: www.zmishka.com.
