Editors
A brief overview of the volunteer editors whose dedicated efforts created Poets' Corner:
Bob Blair is a retired software architect living in Killeen Texas. Bob has contributed an enormous amount of well-selected (and well edited) material; his contributions and recommendations were key to the growth of the collection throughout its formative years. Bob also maintained the Daily Poetry Break (DPB) for many years, providing incisive commentary on a wide range of topics, and responding to reader questions.Bob still participates in our National Poetry Month event, contributing to our collaborative essay series.
Jon Lachelt is a software engineer living in Fort Collins, Colorado. His interest poetry was kindled by a Great Aunt reading poems aloud. In addition to his contributions of material, Jon applied his organizational and programming skills and designed and created several indexes to make the collection easier to navigate. Some of these are currently offline, but Jon's Subject index is online while it is being updated with additional features and content. Nowadays Jon is more likely to be found rock climbing than editing.
Nelson Howard Miller ('Howard' when he's online) is a retired English professor living in Macon, Georgia. Nelson was a regular and substantial contributor, and also a diligent researcher. Much of the original publishing research was done by Nelson, whose efforts are a big part of the main Author Index. Nelson also gave us a format and a start to the poets' biographies, and was the person who answered by far the most reader inquiries over the years. To appreciate this properly, understand that this effort pre-dates most of Wikipedia and Google Books, and that project Gutenburg was still in its formative years. Nowadays he can be found writing Lunes and other short forms, and contributing to our National Poetry Month essay series. .
Steve Spanoudis, Managing Editor of The Other Pages, lives in Coral Springs, Florida on the eastern edge of the everglades. He began Poets' Corner and The Other Pages as part of an experimental collection of web sites in 1994 and continues to edit and maintain the collection. He maintains related blogs on Facebook, Tumblr, and Pinterest for The Other Pages, that include topics ranging from Photography to Quotations to local music. He is also the voice behind The Republic of Dreams, an adventure series of six books available on Amazon.
