Ottmar Bauer, born in 1942, is a retired teacher, who has been a member of Writers Ink ever since he won an award for his short story 'The Horrible Power of Words' in the Daniil Pashkoff Prize 2002. In a way Writers Ink, with its workshops, read-ins and social events, has taken the role of his former teaching business - as a constant incentive and inspiration for his writing. Ottmar believes in form. If need be, he takes to rhyming or can end up with a veritable mock epic in blank verse. Another credo of his is that a poem needs to be understood at the first or second reading, or else it's for the dust bin. Ottmar also writes in German: poems, short stories and of late, a teacher's diary covering his last six years at the Heinrich-Nordhoff-Gesamtschule in Wolfsburg.

Kathrin Marquardt, born 1967, loves e.e.cummings, Ted Hughes and Jane Austen. She would give her right arm (and much more) for only one poem as great as Pablo Neruda's poetry. Until that day, she tries to be very patient with her writing. >> Text sample
