Jonathan Penton's life has been in a constant state of decline since MTV's State cancelled their emotionally gripping television program, The Jew, the Italian, and the Red-Head Gay. He shares his great ennui with the universe through his Chevron-sponsored website, UnlikelyStories.org. His first chapbook, Last Chap, is available from Vergin' Press. Two more chapbooks are forthcoming, from Big Bridge Press. He lives in El Paso.
