Janaka Stucky is practicing the perfection of effort while working on silent relationships with knives, pugilism, and a history of tentacles. He is also the Publisher of Black Ocean and its literary magazine, Handsome, and was recently voted “Boston’s Best Poet” for 2010 in the Boston Phoenix. He likes his whiskey neat and his music dirty.
