Joseph Shermis has published The Steelhead Special, a Working Class Cultural & Literary Review, since 1991. He lives on the northcoast of California with good people and pleasant animals, and usually has at least three part time jobs and two community activist projects going at any given time. He does free lance editing and curriculum writing for money, writes editorials and guest columns for love. Most of what he writes anymore expresses sincere criticism of the attempts at leadership/prostitution of quasi-elected government officials.
