Intisar Abioto is a writer, dancer, photographer, and explorer. She is always working with dance, word, self-mythos, and magic to merge internal and external Intisars from past, present, future, and fantasy occasions of time. Intisar studied English and Dance at Wesleyan University in CT, where she danced/studied about the human genome with The Liz Lerman Dance Exchange, and wrote about the movement poetics in Chaucer. She is the founder of The People Could Fly Project (where she turned children’s book, The People Could Fly, into an international 200,000-mile flying dance-media-performance expedition), The Black Portlanders, and The Black. Find her at theintisar.com.
James Yeary has written more than a dozen books of poetry in collaboration with other writers and artists. These include Folding Calendar, with collages by Fredrik Averin; the my day series of chapbooks (with Chris Ashby and Nate Orton); and the full-length The Do How (with Kyle Schlesinger). His visual work has appeared in the publications Picture Sentence, The Last Vispo anthology: visual poetry 1998-2008 (Fantagraphics Books), and Eights.
