New updates on 6 Cha contributors: John McKernan, Gillian Sze, Greg Santos, Marc Vincenz, Sumana Roy and Nicolette Wong

John McKernan

Yes,  Juked is showcasing its May 2012 issue right now but John Mckernan's poem "Old Guys in the Steam Room 132° F" appeared in the February issue and I have missed it. The poem ends with these poignant lines: 'I know how to change things to last / I’m talking beautiful It is weird' 

||  John McKernan's poetry was published in Issue #15 of Cha and is forthcoming in the June 2012 issue.  His poem"We Used Chalk" was nominated for a Pushcart Prize 2012.
