Julia
Carpenter did not tell us anything about herself at all.
She simply attached the poem “Illicit” (see footer) and the
short story Man, Woman, Knife for us
to read. Learning of her submission being accepted, she replied: “It’s
fantastic to be recognised!”. Julia was born in 1982 and is currently
undertaking a Diploma of Arts in Professional Writing and Editing at
Box Hill Institute. This is the first publication of her works.

H. Soetemann (born 1975, psychologist, musician, writer.
Several publications of short stories, drawings and scientific articles
in underground literature and online magazines, for the major part in
the German language. Several CD-R & CD releases, both as a solo artist
and with the group ‘cryptic scenery’.) hat Gangway im World
Wide Web entdeckt und die Konzeption eines zweisprachigen Literaturmagazins
als sehr interessant und ungewöhnlich empfunden. “Bisher habe
ich meine Prosatexte primär in deutscher Sprache verfasst, aber
dann & wann auch englischsprachige Texte geschrieben. Zudem bin ich
seit Jahren u. a. als Musiker aktiv und schreibe für meine Songs
ausschliesslich englische Lyrics. Auf Englisch zu schreiben, bedeutet
für mich eine alternative Herangehensweise, weil der Umgang mit
einer Fremdsprache natürlich anders ist als mit der ‘mother
tongue’. Da es sich bei den beigefügten Kurzgeschichten um
‘ontic short stories’ handelt
(im Sinne von ‘ontisch’ - seinsmässig, i. e. das Vorhandensein
von etwas feststellend), könnten diese Texte etwas unorthodox in
Thematik und Ausdruck sein, aber ich dachte, ich schicke sie Ihnen einfach
mal, & bei Interesse können Sie selbst urteilen.”

Miles is a poet from Perth who is currently trying to balance
time spent on his own writing and working towards a PhD at the University
of Western Australia. He made noises in unsuccessful bands before opting
for a career in dead languages as the best support for an ongoing poetry
habit. Here are some poems like Skilled Vacancy.
Ian C. Smith, lives in East Gippsland

has a manuscript of poetry, These Fugitive Days, under consideration
for publication, but he does not have a digital camera. What for, he
has Three Poems. Born
1982, Alexandra Ekkelenkamp is still
a young poet. Being of Dutch origin, English is her second language,
but it’s hardly a barrier anymore. After having been published
in Gangway #20 last year, she writes: “I’ll send you some
more poems, also some in Dutch ... I generally don’t translate
poems, so these are different poems, Dutch
and English Poems. I hope you’ll enjoy them ... Love, Alexandra.”
