| Kirsten A. Gwin | Kirsten A. Gwin recently graduated from Westminster College and now lives with her dog and many other people in Seattle where she rides her little yellow bike everywhere and drinks a lot of gin. She writes her poetry on a little blue Royalite typewriter, bottles dandelion wine, and collects music boxes. Last year Kirsten was a co-winner of the Academy of American Poets Student Contest at Westminster. |
| Chris Crittenden | Chris Crittenden teaches environmental ethics for the University of Maine and does much of his writing in a hut in a spruce forest. The nearest traffic light is fifty miles away. To sum up his rollercoaster journey as a poet, you could say: a million rejections, obsession, and so some acceptances. He blogs mordantly as Owl Who Laughs. |

| Michael Sauve | Mike Sauve emerged psychically wounded from the cultural isolation of Northern Ontario, the backwoods, NHL-focused burg of Sault Ste. Marie to be precise. He has a journalism degree from Ryerson University. He’s written for The National Post, Exclaim Magazine and the Toronto International Film Festival Group. His fiction has appeared in the humour journal Feathertale. He is the owner of two dogs and one horse. |
| Simon Leigh |
I’m a former university professor, writing full-time in Toronto. From Melbourne, Australia, I was educated way beyond my intelligence at Sydney University, Oxford and the University of New Brunswick. Thirteen years at universities ended in a construction job digging drains, then thirteen years as a racing driver ended in a concrete wall at Mosport. I now ski race and play valve trombone. My poems and stories have appeared in The Fiddlehead; the Antigonish Review; etc. and four anthologies. My three poetry books are The Bleeding Clock, Dying Flowers and Short Strokes. My novel Wild Women: a memoir with six lies was published by UKAPress, 2005 and in a new edition in 2007. Two new novels, The Killing, and Dance Me are with an agent, and a play, Stalker, is being produced. |
| John Grey | John Grey has been published recently in The Georgetown Review, The Pinch, South Carolina Review and The Pedestal with work upcoming in Alimentum and Big Muddy. |
| Gary Beck | Gary Beck has spent most of his adult life as a theater director and worked as an art dealer when he couldn't earn a living in the theater.

His chapbook 'Remembrance' was published by Origami Condom Press, 'The Conquest of Somalia' was published by Cervena Barva Press, 'The Dance of Hate' was published by Calliope Nerve Media and 'Mutilated Girls' is being published by Bedouin Press. A collection of his poetry 'Days of Destruction' was published by Skive Press. Another collection 'Expectations' was published by Rogue Scholars Press.

His poetry has appeared in hundreds of literary magazines. He currently lives in New York City. |
| Leonard Chan | Born in the city that helped open the Golden Gates, Leonard Chan was raised in a rackety apartment building where he danced and sang to the music played by musicians outside of his house as an infant . He is now a high school student who gathers every ingredient from the English language, and uses it to bake a sentence. Marie Antoinette, let us eat cake! Influences: Allen Conrad, Brent Leo Shaeffer, Jocelyn Lai, and many others I wish to name. |
