EVERY SATURDAY AT NOON Reading Series: About the Featured Readers

Meredith Holmes is the first Poet Laureate in the city of Cleveland 
Heights, Ms. Holmes grew up in Moorestown, NJ, a small town near 
Philadelphia. She has lived in Cleveland Heights for 30 years and 
earned her bachelor's degree in English from Case Western Reserve 
University. She is a writer for the marketing and communications 
department at Case Western Reserve University. Holmes' first book 
Shubad's Crown, was published in 2003 by Pond Road Press. She has 
poems in Garrison Keillor's new anthology, Good Poems for Hard Times, 
and in the Poets' and Writers' League of Greater Cleveland anthology, 
Cleveland in Prose and Poetry.

Stephen Koelsch writes about the fear and the wonder of being human; 
the fear because we realize we may be wasting our lives and will 
eventually die; the wonder because we have at least the capability to 
love. A central premise of his writing is that a moment of honesty is 
worth a lifetime of lies. Each poem has a refreshingly sparse, direct-
to-the-point character... edgy cutting verse: with complex twisting 
word crafting, balanced by a deceptive simplicity that begs 
rereading.

Leslie L. Nielsen `s published work is primarily poetry and news 
features.  She also writes a monthly column on arts and faith in the 
newsletter Friend-to-Friend and has been for the last 3 years, the 
coordinator of the Art of Worship arts conference. She is an adjunct 
member of the faculties of Malone College and Kent State University 
Stark Campus, where she teaches creative writing, composition, and 
business communication.  Nielsen has also taught Humanities in the 
Malone College Management Program. Recent poetry readings are the 
Color of Hope event to raise funds for breast cancer research, the 
Canton Museum of Art, and faculty readings at Kent and Malone. 

Robert Miltner is associate professor of English at Kent State 
University Stark where he teaches literature, composition and 
creative writing, directs The Enormous Room Reading Series, and edits 
The Raymond Carver Review, a peer-reviewed, electronic journal. His 
poems, reviews and stories have appeared in journals such as Artful 
Dodge, Barrow Street, CrossConnect, Diagram, Hawai=B4i Pacific Review, 
Mid-American Review,  Pleiade, Prose Poem, Sentence, Sleeping Fish, 
Vincent Brothers Review, Vox, New York Quarterly and Wisconsin 
Review. Miltner is the author of author of six chapbooks of poetry.
