Adriann “Justthepen” Toombs Bautista is a mother, Grant Administrator, Playwright, Poet, Workshop Facilitator, Founder and CEO of Just The Pen, LLC, Founder of Just The Pen Foundation, Founder & Facilitator of The SisterStrength Symposium and Creator and host of “Talks with Just The Pen”. Adriann’s published works include Ballad of a Beautiful Brown King, Sanctuary of Snow and SisterStrength:She/Her/We/Me, and over 15 anthologies. “When my pen no longer touches paper upon the earth, I pray to be remembered for the faith I tried to share with everyone I came in contact with, for the light I tried to share, my concern for humanity, the connections I have established and how I tried to give space without leaving,  for how I gave love in large doses without borders or judgement and for the desire I carried to have my words leave a warm impact in a cold world.”

Chukwuma Ndulue is a writer and teacher. He is the author of the chapbook Boys Quarter (Ugly Duckling Presse) and is co-founder of the Aftermath Arts Cooperative. His poetry collection Holding Rain is forthcoming from Word Galaxy Press.

 

 

 

Anthony Palma’s work attempts to bridge the gap between poetry and other forms while addressing issues of social justice, identity, and existence. He has 2 books, a full-length collection entitled flashes of light from the deep, and a new chapbook, Horror. An organizer and connector, he is president of the Mad Poets Society, and works to live the ideal that poetry is for everybody.  Be sure to look him up on social media at anthonypalmapoetry.
