What do you get when two housewives produce an online poetry journal? Poems celebrating dishwater, breast feeding and lunar phases? Ahem. Quick trysts with the pool boy? Maybe, but we like to believe we offer more depth than that. There’s no telling what you’ll get at the No Tell Motel, but we think sneaking out and keeping everything hush hush is kind of sexy. We’re hot for discretion. “Having it all” keeps us awfully busy so we like to stop and “smell the posies,” spend quality time with our poets, which is why our rendezvous last a full seven days – a new poem each weekday. Each year we'll slip our room key to 52 poets and indulge in 260 poems. Our spouses’ misfortunes are your gains. Meet with us daily at the No Tell Motel. We’ll be in room 5C, sipping the latest cocktail recommended in Martha Stewart's Living, scribbling marginalia. Reb Livingston, Editor reb(at)notellmotel.org  Reb is a delight. She’s also a poet living in Northern Virginia and author of Your Ten Favorite Words (Coconut Books 2007), Pterodactyls Soar Again (Whole Coconut Chapbook Series 2006) and co-author of Wanton Textiles (No Tell Books 2006). Her poetry has appeared in Best American Poetry 2006, American Poetry Review, The Hat, MiPOesias and Coconut, among other publications. When she’s not writing poems, she tends to her young son. When she’s not being “arty,” she walks, practices yoga (badly), pilates (terribly) and drains the household savings playing nickel slots. In the mid-90’s she spent nearly four years toiling for AOL where she learned a lot about online content programming and the secret torture of cubicles. To really know her, visit her website and blog. Molly Arden, Contributing Editor molly(at)notellmotel.org  Molly has continued doing research on the erotic literature of antiquity.Several translations from Catullus with her commentary are forthcoming in Classic Literature in Translation. Also, she blogs. Reb and Molly met in 2003 while attending a luncheon for contributors of FU: An Anthology of Fuck You Poems. They have been collaborating from the very moment they met. Together they help "bring the sexy back" to poetry by editing The Bedside Guide to No Tell Motel and The Bedside Guide to No Tell Motel - 2nd Floor.
