Another Round in another dive

Lanser Howard began his career as a journalist and then transitioned into film where he wrote and produced an award-winning documentary film Fight Life among other screenplays. His sole focus now is on poetry and prose with his first full-length book of poetry The Screaming Silence released in 2020. Howard's visceral, minimalistic style paints hard-hitting portraits of the dark and the wounded, and seeks to illuminate the struggles of everyday people fighting insurmountable odds. His writing has been featured on Good Day Sacramento TV, Style Magazine and other publications and podcasts.

Steve Boint, owner of Scurfpea Publishing, has published writings in theology, business ethics, social justice, and lunar topography. His poetry has been published in several anthologies including South Dakota In Poems (edited by Christine Stewart-Nunez, then Poet Laureate of South Dakota). His books of poetry include Backyard Jubilee with South Dakota Poet of Merit Charles Luden, Stranded wherever I am: poems of motels and roads, and winddance.
