"In the mid-1980s, Meri St. Mary was the full-lipped punk siren to drive the prepubescent San Francisco anarchists wild. She was beautiful and crazy-eyed, as feral as a foul-mouthed alley cat, with a voice like Patti Smith and an attitude straight out of an Aqua Net can."

In February, 2009, I resigned as U.S. agent for French Connection Press. For some reason, the French Connection website still has my name listed as the one to send orders, reading fees and other U.S. correspondence to. This announcement is to let Chiron Review readers know that although I am still friends with them, I am no longer working for French Connection Press or Van Gogh's Ear, and that the new address for correspondence to FCP or VGE is: Bob Biggers, 35514 Teja Court, Yucaipa, CA 92399. -- Michael Hathaway
