About Me

I'll break it off some for you in third person:

Charles Nevsimal is Editor & Otherwise for Centennial Press , which publishes the literary journal Anthills. A national award-winning writer, he is the author of the serialized chapbook The Misadventures of the Paisley Cowboy (Desperado Press), the mini-mini-chap Magic (Hemispherical Press), and Risen (Desperado Press). In 2007, he was nominated for the Pushcart Prize by former Milwaukee laureate, Antler. He lives with his wife, Deborah, in Wisconsin’s Kettle Moraine. Together, they have one dog.

Postscript: Also, it is important to know he is infatuated with gorgonzola cheese. And he collects java jackets, even though he doesn't quite understand why.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Writers, poets, ninjas, cyborgs, cyborg ninjas, painters, printers, editors, outlaws, Corellian smugglers, narcissists, filmmakers, philosophers, intergalactic pirates, Catholics, Omega the Unknown, bookmakers, comic book fanatics, hipsters, Chewbacca, neophytes (of any sort), Buck Rogers, Enik, Salacious Crumb, and Xenophaner (tree monster of Winnipeg folklore).
