Carolyn Zukowski

It’s your typical story: Carolyn is an American living with her Canadian husband in Český Krumlov, Czech Republic, where they own and operate Hostel Krumlov House. Her literary career started as an interim managing editor at AGNI and later as an editorial assistant at Harvard/Radcliffe. After moving to Czech, she morphed into English teacher, translator, travel writer, and mother to two growing boys. You can find her poetry in 14by14, Literary Mama, Perigee, Umbrella Journal, or forthcoming in The Foundling Review. She’s currently working towards her MA in Creative Writing at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.

Colin Lewis

Colin lives everywhere and constructs web sites remotely, on the run. His resumé also includes career-track stints as bagel baker, bellhop, and supervisor of a giant Popsicle machine, as well as the shelving guy at the library who surreptitiously reads books in the stacks. He keeps irregular hours.

Michelle Taylor Harris

After gaining some proper appreciation for her home state by traveling through most of the 49 others, Michelle returned to Maine, where she recently completed a BFA in photography. Her oddly vacillating career path began in advertising and has run the gamut from field hockey coach to toy company rep, but mostly she has been a mother of two busy boys. Throughout it all (and dating back to her pre-teens of stanza-filled spiral bound notebooks), poetry has made cameo appearances. She is thrilled to be at it again.

Kristen McHenry

Kristen McHenry lives in Seattle with two cats, two fire-bellied toads, and one husband. She loves to sing, but only in the car with all of the windows rolled up. Poet by night, health outreach worker by day, you can find her work in Big Pulp, Boston Literary Magazine, Sybil’s Garage, Tiferet, and several anthologies. She was a finalist in the 2009 national poetry competition “Project Verse”, and her manuscript, “The Goatfish Alphabet” was runner-up in qarrtsiluni‘s 2009 chapbook contest. Kristen is the creator and facilitator of the Poet’s Cafe, a weekly poetry workshop for homeless teens at the New Horizons drop-in center in downtown Seattle. She can often be found napping in front of the TV, her poetry journal as a prop. Visit her blog.
