She was educated at Cornell University and the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop, where she was a Capote Fellow in Poetry. Brown is currently a PhD candidate in Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Houston.
B.J. Love’s poems have been published in H_NGM_N; Forklift, OH, Sink Review; Spork; and elsewhere. He produces Pretty LIT, a podcast that features literature with a little stank on it. He is the author of a few chapbooks, Michigander, being one, Yes, I'm Sure This Was a Beautiful Place, being another.
Trevor Borden's simple, unpolished song-writing and story-telling command attention. Somewhere between building forts in southern Kenya and tinkering with the guitar around campfires in the sandy coves of Iberia, Trevor found his voice. Trevor is extremely entertaining and his performance carries the weight of a man wise beyond his years. Trevor loves hard work and is especially fond of House Shows. www.trevorborden.com
