style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><b>Seann
McCollum</b> is an artist lurking on the fringes of the
Portland literary scene. That shadowy figure who sits in the
back doodling while everyone schmoozes. A scavenger waiting
for the other beasts to finish gorging so he can feast on the
scraps. He has self-published thirty books of poetry, prose,
and drawings. <br>
