Qualifying Score/Test – ACT
Poetry – High School news letter
.

Biography - I'm currently a seventeen year old high school senior at Mission College Preparatory Catholic High School in California. My primary interests are writing and psychology, although since I'm at the age where career options are looking still sketchy and somewhat premature I don't know how either of them are concretely going to fit into my adult lifestyle. I have other interests in various sciences (primarily quantum physics and astrophysics) as well as law, philosophical epistemology, anarchist doctrine (although more as a fantastical indulgence than anything else), gothic art and piano. Most of the experiences which I know to be defining points in my life I have not yet developed enough understanding of to feel competent in relating. I have two people I would count as friends, a slightly larger number of people who confide in me about issues that aren't dramatic fabrications of high-school insecurity, and a slew of acquaintances around whom I become quickly depressed about the shallow state of today's sex-driven media and the undeveloped moral compasses of the majority of the youth that media influences. I'm probably giving more of a bombastic and arrogant description of all of the things that make me not a normal hormone-driven teenager than an autobiography, but it's mainly because this is the time of year for all kinds of personal statement essays for colleges and I'm somewhat locked into talking about who I am right now rather than outlining the course my life has taken.

Poetry – Published by WCMH in Columbus, newsletter for Grant Medical Center's Lifeflight

Biography - In 1999 I moved to WI and am in my second semester of grad school. I plan to start work on my second Master's in the summer of '04. After that one is complete, I intend to accept a commission to the US Public Health Service.

Life is interesting. I'm owned by one cat and am completely wrapped around my son's little finger. I currently volunteer with the US Coast Guard and WI DNR and am a life member of Girl Scouts USA. When the water is liquid, I enjoy kayaking and scuba. In an effort to enjoy frozen water, I recently bought snowshoes and ice skates.

Sometimes I see or hear phrases or pictures that are perfect poem bits. I let them rattle around in the back of my head for a while until they manage to make themselves into a coherent whole.
When a really good poem arrives, it won't let me do anything else 'til I write it down. This can be a challenge if I'm in rush hour traffic, and downright annoying when it wakes me in the middle of the night. Once it's on paper the way it wants to be, things go back to... well, as normal as they ever get.

It's an inherited affliction; my dad's mom was the same way.

Qualifying Score/Test – Grove’s Multi-Mental Brief
Poetry - 2001´s issue of the annual "abizeitung" (that´s the name) of anno-gymnasium, siegburg, germany

Biography - My name is Merlin Carl, born 1982 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Started writing short storys and poems at the age of 5 and have continued this sporadically as a hobby; a little later I composed some short piano pieces, Since then, my fields of interest have been artificial intelligence, linguistic, philosophy (epistemology and ethics) and pure mathematics, especially logic, set theory and number theory. Decided against serving the army and worked in a home for severely handicapped children instead. Currently, I study mathematics, informatics and communication science in Bonn. My favourite authors are Franz Kafka and Heinrich Mann, favourite poets Berthold Brecht and Heinrich Heine. Generally, I have a passion for "naturally born arts" rather than the technically produced. Consequently, I prefer classic music, melodic metal and gothic to techno and the mainstram music of nower days.

I look forward to getting some good critique on my future work that
I post. :)
