B. N. Faraj Fair Lawn, NJ

B. N. Faraj takes watching the grass grow in his small New Jersey town very seriously as he looks at the world from neither an acute nor obtuse angle—but rather from a weird one. His biting words may leave some scars, but they’ve yet to be implicated in any rabies outbreaks. Work has appeared in Oddball (The Uninvited Guest; A Love Poem (To a Grammarian); The New Love Affair; An Ode to the Em), Asses of Parnassus (The Art of Gifting), Little Old Lady Comedy (The Toilet Seat… And the Neat Drunkard), Lighten Up (He Even Fired the Chicken), Poems for Persons of Interest (Former Laureate, parody), and elsewhere.
