Terence Culleton has published several collections of formally crafted narrative and lyric poems, including A Communion of Saints and Eternal Life. His most recent book, A Tree and Gone is a collection of formal English sonnets, many of which have appeared in journals and anthologies and/or been short-listed in sonnet contests. A Tree and Gone was recently included in the New York Review of Books Small Press Releases.  A two-time Pushcart nominee, Mr. Culleton has had work featured on NPR, and he reads widely throughout the Philadelphia and New York areas. Several of his poems have been set to music by Vermont composer Don Jamison, as well as jazz clarinetist Darryl Harper and his ensemble Onus.

Emiliano Martin, Spanish born and long time resident of Bucks County, PA., is the founder and former director of Philadelphia Poetry Forum and past president of the Latin American Guild for the Arts. Currently and since 2018, he is president of Pennsylvania Poetry Society. He has authored over a dozen titles of poetry (and prose), besides having been published in Mad Poets Review, Philadelphia Poets, The Lite Fuuse, S.V. Journal, US 1, The Swarthmorean, and other Spanish language publications in Spain, such as Mizares and Marejadas. Author of “Footprints of Spain in Philadelphia” (2020), his latest book of poems is “Caught Between Layers.”
