BILL CUSHING, a Los Angeles-based poet, is pleased to return to the pages of Stories of Music. In addition to being published in Volume 1, his poems have appeared in Avocet, Brownstone Review, Penumbra, genius & madness, the Onion River Review, the Synergist, Spectrum, and the Sabal Palm Review. Cushing earned an MFA in writing from Goddard College in Vermont, and now teaches English classes at both Mount San Antonio and East Los Angeles colleges. Because of his involvement in Stories of Music, Volume 1, he was able to reconnect with a childhood neighbor, who also now lives in Los Angeles, and the two have begun collaborative performances of poetry and music under the name of “Notes and Letters.” Cushing invites anyone interested in the idea (and especially those in the So-Cal area) to join their Facebook page of the same name for updates, posts, and clips.
