| James Kerns is a native of Washington, D.C., and a familiar face in the underground poetry scene. He is the publisher of
Mobile City, an urban arts journal "sprung from the creative talents of local bicycle messengers," and dedicated to "sampling hidden voices and images." He says of his role as an editor, "...the fact that I could know someone without ever meeting them by looking at their work, that I could learn things from them too intimate for handshakes, excited me...." He has worked as a bicycle messenger, as well as in other trades such as restaurateur, Appalachian adventure guide, Asian import/export entrepreneur, and Alaskan fisherman. Although he holds a liberal arts degree, true to the philosophy of
Mobile City and his personal writings, he continues to pursue unusual
occupations:
