Hannah McDonald is a writer, poet, geek, and generally funny queer woman. You may have caught her onstage at The Bechdel Test Fest, the National Poetry Slam, or any number of literary events in the Philly area. The strangest place she’s ever performed her work was a sex toy shop in Vineland, NJ. Her past chapbooks are, sadly, out of print. Her writing has appeared in Apiary, The Legendary, and Dreamstreets. Hannah writes fan-fiction, if you’re into that sort of thing, and is currently dreaming of writing a novel. You might also find her singing karaoke, eating popsicles, baby-talking to her two guinea pigs, or having adventures with friends like you.

Dave’s poems have appeared in Slant, Canary, Heroin Chic, Shot Glass Journal, Referential Magazine, Wild River Review, and elsewhere.
