Joanna Fuhrman

She is a former poetry editor for Ping Pong and Boog City and served as the Monday-night coordinator for the poetry readings at The Poetry Project from 2001 to 2003 and the Wednesday-night coordinator from 2010 to 2011. She currently teaches poetry writing at Rutgers University and coordinates the Introduction to Creative Writing Classes and the faculty and alumni readings.

Christine Hamm

Christine Hamm has published four books of poetry exploring the roles of animals, fairytales, gender, and violence. Her newest book is GORILLA, “a potent and wholly original collection that traces—with the indelible strokes of dream logic—the contours of domestic dramas and estranging losses, along with the menaces of masculinity… The emotional complexity limned by Hamm is something to marvel at.”—Jenny Xie. Her poems have been published in Painted Bride Quarterly, Rattle, Rhino, and Pinch. She also has an MSW from NYU, an MA in fiction writing, and is halfway through an MFA in poetry from Columbia. She is the 8th annual winner of the Tenth Gate Prize.

Kathleen Ossip

Kathleen Ossip is the author of three volumes of poetry: The Do-Over, which was a New York Times Editors’ Choice; The Cold War, which was one of Publishers Weekly’s Best Books of 2011; and The Search Engine, selected by Derek Walcott for the American Poetry Review/Honickman First Book Prize. Her poems have appeared widely in such publications as The Washington Post, The Best American Poetry, The Best American Magazine Writing, The New York Review of Books, The Nation, The New Republic, Poetry, Paris Review, Kenyon Review, and many others. Ossip teaches at The New School, the 92nd Street Y, and the Hudson Valley Writers Center.
