we now interrupt: happy birthday, happy birthday!

Happy birthday to the wondrous creature that is Mister Alan DeNiro!

Alan is or has been many things: published in One Story and Fence and poetry editor of Say..., lord of the dance and the karaoke machine. He is also a mind-twisting, funny as hell writer. So, go read him in honor of his birthday. Read the interview Matthew Cheney recently did with him at the Mumpsimus. Read his story "Tetrarchs" at Strange Horizons. Alan has forgotten more about poetry and chess than you ever knew.

You may also listen to some Winger.

Happy birthday, Alan!
