Aside from my son, Michael A. Istvan III, and my partner, Aaliyah Fritz, there are many people to credit for contributing to the website.

Thanks, first of all, to the various photographers.

I would also like that the various magazines in which my work has appeared. Especially now that the HR cancel ethos has a firm grip on almost all the small magazines, these magazines have been bold in welcoming me. No, I am a monster. Quite the contrary, in fact (as is often the case: think of how sweet and supportive a person Chuck Palahniuk is, for example). It is just that I do not steer clear of the brutalities of reality. A trans character might lose an arm in one of my poems, an absolute no-no for a growing number of editors anxious to appear as woke as possible.
