The two cats that allow Wulf to live with them are also his severest critics. Writing poetry detracts from playtime, petting time, and from feeding them treats—and they regularly show their contempt for his muse by walking nimble-footed across his keyboard.

Matt Nagin
Nothing has any meaning, certainly not Matt’s poems. But Matt embraces this existential void, this spiritual oblivion, this critical mass of emptiness, and continues to write poetry—something he’s been working at, on and off, for 23 years. His poetry has appeared in Antigonish Review, Dash, Grain Magazine, and many more publications you most likely have never encountered.

Simon Perchik
Simon’s poetry has appeared in Partisan Review, The Nation, The New Yorker and elsewhere.

Stephanie Lane Sutton
Stephanie is the proud owner of a dwarf mastiff. She is a frequent loser of bets but winner of card games. Previously published poems can be found embarrassing themselves in the presence of younger and better looking people. As an amalgamation of pixels, she currently resides at stephanielanesutton.com.

Meghan Tutolo
Meghan is an artist with some writing degrees and two cats with smooshy faces. She romances olives and pasta for a living. Otherwise, she can be found sleepless, painting, writing, doodling, grading, playing music (horribly), and coffee drinking. Meghan’s publications include everything from pasta sauce labels to magazine ads to poems. Her first chapbook Little As Living (2014) was published by Dancing Girl Press.

Jessica L. Walsh
Jessica is a poet and professor at a community college outside of Chicago. She is the author of How to Break My Neck as well as a couple of chapbooks. Her husband is more than a little intrigued by the legendary Skunk Ape of the Everglades. Her nine-year-old daughter wants to know why she wasn’t mentioned in this bio.

Kelsey Dean
Kelsey is an artist based in Michigan (although sometimes she lives in other places, like South Korea and Italy). Her artwork has a tendency to be bright and whimsical, and can be found in several publications, including Weave Magazine, 3Elements Review, Glint Literary Journal, and Neutrons Protons. She is resigned to merely painting sea life for now, since her attempts to actually become a mermaid have been unsuccessful.
