Kat Giordano was born in Philadelphia and it’s been downhill ever since. Their latest poetry collection, Thumbsucker, is out via Malarkey Books. Kat tweets at @giordkat and lives on the internet at katgiordano.com. Kat is very cool. You like them.

Carol Moog will read from her debut poetry collection She Sat But Not Still (Tell Tell Poetry).  She is a practicing psychologist, professional musician (harmonica) and author of “Are They Selling Her Lips?” (William Morrow) and The Autism Playbook for Teens (New Harbinger).  She can also be found improvising with Tongue and Groove Spontaneous Theater, and voicing vintage radio plays. She has never understood why people tell children to sit still.

Lester Mobley was born on Long Island New York before moving to Philadelphia at the age of 18 where he has remained ever since. He is a retired union building tradesmen who has dabbled on and off with poetry since elementary school. His favorite poets whom he reveres and attempts to emulate are Charles Bukowski’s who he describes as being urban, seamy and modern, and the innovative groundbreaking mid-19th century stylings of Walt Whitman. Everyone else as he always maintains, remain respectfully peripheral.

Tara Tamburello was the 2023 Poet Laureate of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Her short fiction and poems have appeared or are forthcoming in Schuylkill Valley Journal, Ghost City Review, Bone Parade, Rust + Moth, and other journals and anthologies. She is a past winner of the Bucks County Short Fiction Contest and received Eastern University’s Dorothy McCollum Siebert Award for creative writing. She lives in the Philly suburbs with her husband, two children, and cat.
