ArLiJo Features Joseph Grant, Consuelo Hernandez, & John S. Williams
Fiction writer Joseph Grant, poet Consuelo Hernandez, & poet John S. Williams are featured on ArLiJo.com.
These authors are quite good but I would like to particularly point out Consuelo Hernandez's poetry which is focused on aspects of India and the Middle East. These poems intrigue and instruct at the same time.
