F. Omar Telan (pronouced tellin'), attributes his lack of literary success to his slothfulness. With the imagined rejections of thousands of unsent submissions, Omar day dreams of winning many literary awards. Born in the North Philadelphia and raised in suburbia, Omar is a poet, performance artist, wannabe novelist, and someday screenwriter who is widely unacknowledged and is one of our least innovative Asian American voices languishing in anonymity.

Philadelphia Tanka: Metropolitan Opera House
Last row, upper balcony
of the old Metro Opera—
I say my name to commune
with the ghosts
whose songs still vibrate
these walls.
