Colin Lewis · web admin & editor
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 · editor
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 · editor
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, leader of volunteers by day, you can find her work in Big Pulp, Boston Literary Magazine, Sybil’s Garage, Tiferet, and several anthologies. Kristen was also a finalist in the 2009 national poetry competition “Project Verse”. Her chapbook, The Goatfish Alphabet was runner-up in qarrtsiluni‘s 2009 chapbook contest. Read her most recent chapbook, Triplicity: Poems in Threes. She can often be found napping in front of the TV, her poetry journal as a prop. Visit her blog.
Alyse Carpenter · intern
Alyse lives in and loves Minneapolis. Her undergrad studies in London left her with mild addiction to English Breakfast tea, a permanent habit of looking left before street crossing, a blog with nearly seventeen entries, and an unsquashable travel bug.
Ben Gillepsie · intern
Ben grew up in Colorado, but has most recently logged hours in Georgia and Chicago. He recently completed his Master’s degree with a thesis on visual techniques in Mina Loy’s poetry and is hoping to return to the grindstone to finish up his doctorate in the near future. Look for him lurking in art galleries and recital halls.
Samantha Ronan · intern
Samantha Ronan grew up in New England, fell in love with Irish literature outside Philadelphia, learned about book publishing and fried pickles in Denver, and dreams of someday eating Kinder Bueno bars and editing children’s books outside Galway. Since graduation in 2010 she has been seen practicing her French at a Boston-area bistro, dressing as James Joyce on Halloween, and sucking down boiled peanuts at the North Carolina State Fair.
