Elise Matthesen was born and raised in the U.S. Upper Midwest and is still here. She is a disabled poet and a third generation factory worker. She strives to follow Neil Gaiman’s advice to make good art, particularly in her day job where she makes art jewelry with evocative names. Some of this art jewelry has inspired other people to write, which is what got Elise a World Fantasy Award nomination in 2009. She is very fond of sushi and of investigating the comfort food of many cultures, and she has a lingering suspicion that the liver paté reference in Lois McMaster Bujold’s work was aimed at her. Her most memorable day as a coffeehouse performance poet was the one when Dr. Maya Angelou unexpectedly became part of her birthday party before the Twin-Cities-wide poetry slam competition.

Ron C. Moss is a Tasmanian poet and artist whose haiku and short form poetry has appeared in leading journals and anthologies across the world. His award-winning poems have been featured many times and translated into several languages. The soon-to-be-released Broken Starfish is Ron's third major collection of his previously published haiku, and it brings together work from twenty years of writing. Ron’s interest in Asian philosophy has also influenced his art practice, through abstract watercolour, Sumi-e (ink paintings), and Zenga (Zen inspired painting). He also uses the more modern tools of photography and digital-art making. His study of these disciplines has allowed him to create words to paintings and paintings to words—achieving a highly contemplative expression of creativity and joy.
