Founder, Naomi Horii
With many thanks to our founding editor/publisher & benefactor, Naomi Horii, whose vision and wisdom made all of this possible since 1994. We continually wish her only the best since she left MMM due to different kinds of priorities at the end of 2004.
David Robert Rozgonyi, Fiction Editor at large
David Robert Rozgonyi was born in the latefall of 1976 in Tripoli, Libya, to Hungarian immigrant parents. Travel and languages became a way of life as Mr. Rozgonyi backpacked across six continents, spending months among local residents in remote corners of the world, including China, Africa, the Middle East, and South America. In his life apart from writing and traveling, Mr. Rozgonyi fronted a jazz band in Sydney, Australia, spent a year living entirely nocturnally as a snooker and billiards hustler, and, in recent years, earned an MBA. He currently lives in Colorado.
We also owe great debts to past poetry editors Debra Bokur and Alissa Norton for their many years of great work for MMM.
