with Octavia McBride-Ahebee
& Anthony Palma

Octavia McBride-Ahebee’s poetry is informed by the convergence of cultures and the many ways people move throughout the world. Her work presents human relationships within the context of global inequality. Her poetry and short fiction have appeared in Rigorous, For Harriet, Raising Lilly Ledbetter; Women Poets Occupy the Workplace,  Yellow Medicine, Badilisha Poetry Exchange,  South Philly Fiction, Blackberry Magazine,  International Quarterly; Faces of the Americas and the Beloit Poetry Journal.  McBride-Ahebee’s poetry collections include Assuming and Where My Birthmark Dances and Praise Song for the Gravediggers.

Anthony Palma’s work attempts to bridge the gap between poetry and other forms while dealing with topics of social justice. His readings blend poetry with elements of performance and music. His work has appeared in Whirlwind Magazine, Oddball Magazine, and Harbinger Asylum, among others. He teaches writing at several universities in the Greater Philadelphia area and resides in West Chester PA with his wife and family.
