Information on Our Special Guests
Tom De Beauchamp, Seattle
Tom De Beauchamp, like all good Seattle-ites, is excited to be in Portland. He’s thinking about moving to Portland. He’s encouraged by his Seattle friends to move to Portland, but he’s not sure. He has family and friends in Portland, so the move would be easy, but he’s uncertain about the job market.
On the weekends, when Tom DeBeauchamp comes down, everything in Portland is alive and magical. You can bike here. It’s a quadrangular city. Public space exists. The bridges are magical.
Tom DeBeauchamp wants a piece of that magic. Tom DeBeauchamp is a pretty average dude. He writes fictions. Check out Pilot Books Seattle. Like Tom, it’s in Seattle. You could visit.
Check out Smalldoggies Flash Fiction by Tom, here.

Andy Devine, From Abroad
Special Guest Andy Devine’s alphabetical fiction and essays have appeared in a variety of literary magazines, including New York Tyrant, Unsaid, elimae, Everyday Genius, and Taint. In 2002, Devine was awarded the Riddley Walker Prize (for a work that ignores conventional rules of grammar and punctuation). In 2007, he published his first chapbook, As Day Same That the the Was Year (Publishing Genius). In 2009, Devine was awarded The Ivory-Billed Woodpecker Award (for fiction in the face of adversity).
Words (2010, Publishing Genius) is his first book.
Andy Devine Avenue — in Flagstaff, Arizona — is named after him..

Michael Roberts, Orange County
Michael Roberts is the author of the poetry collection No More Poems About the Moon (Write Bloody Books, 2009). He is trustworthy and, generally speaking, in good with peoples’ moms. Recently he was caught on camera making change for someone on the city bus who only had a five spot. When people applauded, quietly he declared, Please, let these acts go unrecorded. I wish to be remembered as surly and mean. He once held Stephen Hawking’s book “On The Shoulders of Giants” in his hands and thought to himself, I will read this someday. It was a pivotal moment in the young author’s life.
For Smalldoggies Magazine, he is also: Rose Petal Ear.
He will be joining us for the reading series from Orange County, California. Find out more about Michael Roberts at his Smalldoggies Poetry Suite, published October 15, 2010.

Jackie Treiber, Portland
Jackie Treiber is a word-worker from the high plains.
From there to here, she has written and published poetry in I-70 Review and Coordinates, as well as a chapbook printed by Un-Holy Day Press of Kansas City.
She currently edits for The Portland Review in the hovel-like sub-basement of Smith Memorial at Portland State.
