        Victoria-Sue Lombari ("Vicki"), a PhD Candidate in Comparative
Literature at the University of Arkansas completing her dissertation on
the influences of contemporary society and popular culture in contemporary
American and German novels, has presented papers at seesions of SCMLA
(South Central Modern Language Association) and  PAL (Philological
Association of Louisiana).  She has also done editing and copy-writing
work on journal articles, conference papers, and textbooks for the
University of Arkansas's Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural
Sociology.
        A native of Rhode Island, Ms. Lombari completed her undergraduate
degree in English with a concentration in Creative Writing at Case Western
Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and has received an MA in English
and an MA in Comparative Literature from the University of Arkansas. She
writes narrative poetry and short stories in her leisure. She also enjoys
gardening, teaching, tutoring, reading "anything" (lately she's been
reading mysteries and sci-fi as "fun" reading), and playing with her 3
nephews (in RI) and her 2 nieces (in FL) whenever she gets the
opportunity. She also enjoys cooking, and when she is invited to a potluck
dinner, people generally expect her to bring eggplant parmesan (which has
been called "heavenly" and " wonderfully addictive") but she has also been
know to show up with fruit salads, vegetable casseroles, or cucumber
sandwiches.
