Erica Abbott (she/her) is a Philadelphia-based poet and writer whose work has previously appeared or is forthcoming in Kissing Dynamite, Midway Journal, Serotonin, The Broadkill Review, Anti-Heroin Chic, and other journals. She is the author of Self-Portrait as a Sinking Ship (Toho, 2020) and volunteers for Button Poetry, Kissing Dynamite, and Mad Poets Society.

Theodosia Mayfield is a nonbinary performer, writer, and artist specializing in surreal moments of whimsy and existential hope. They specialize in immersive experiences that ask audience members to join in the story wherever it may go, especially if it goes off the rails. In their free time, Theodosia likes to cuddle the sentient sack of potatoes the shelter insisted was a dog.

Brooke Palma grew up in Philadelphia and currently lives in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Many of her poems focus on the connections between culture and identity and finding beauty in the everyday. Her work has been published in The Mad Poets’ Review, Moonstone Arts, Toho Journal, and E-Verse Radio (online).  Her chapbook, Conversations Unfinished, was published by The Moonstone Press in August 2019. She hosts the Livin’ on Luck Poetry Series at Barnaby’s West Chester and serves as Vice President/Treasurer for the Mad Poets Society.
