Anna Prader lives and writes in Philadelphia with her three children. She believes in poetry that betrays codes of social decency and tells the truth instead. She works in harm reduction and peer support, and she would like to take a nap.

Jonathan Todd is a poet/musician/Buddhist/anarchist and generally confused individual. His poems attempt to find moments between and within labor, fusing ideas about emptiness, collectivity, and absurdity. His work has been featured in Prolit and Protean Magazine among others.
