Cindy Emch is a highway poet.  In the last five years,  she single-handedly dug a canal from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Ocean and sent out handmade invitations to all of America to go swimming.  When she's not unearthing pavement, Emchy can be found writing reams of valentines and love letters to her adventures on a daily basis.  She calls them poems.  Her words are salty and crunchy like sweat and gravel, and they tell queer mossy secrets. She has been been published in the LodeStar Quarterly, There Journal, Tough Girls 2: More Down and Dirty Dyke Erotica edited by Lori Selke, It's So You: 35 Women on Fashion, Beauty and Personal Style edited by Michelle Tea, and numerous chapbooks. She co-hosted the Aunty Cindy and Unka Lynnee show with Lynn Breedlove on Pirate Cat Radio from 2004 to 2007, and has been a curator for the National Queer Arts Festival since 1995. Emch is the founder and co-host of San Francisco's twice-a-month Queer Open Mic, which is a part of the San Francisco triad of queer open mic's that are a central resource and performance space for the queer literary scene.

Suzanne Kleid is a contributing editor to Other Magazine and Instant City quarterly. Her fiction and nonfiction writings have appeared in many places, including Watchword, Pindeldyboz, and the Believer (forthcoming). She co-edited the 2004 anthology "Created In darkness by Troubled Americans:The Best of McSweeney's Humor Category" and she is the book reviewer for KQED's arts and culture blog.

Darin Klein is an independent curator and the Programs Coordinator at the Hammer
Museum in Los Angeles. He has been designing, producing and promoting 'zines,
chapbooks and artist books since his teenage years. His "Untitled play for 5
voices" was originally read at Betalevel in Los Angeles with a cast of local
artists and writers, and appears in the Mindlessfullness issue of the literary
journal Trepan.

Toni Mirosevich is the author of "Pink Harvest" (MidList Press) winner 
of the First Series in Creative Nonfiction Award. She also has three 
poetry collections including "Queer Street" and "My Oblique 
Strategies," which received the Frank O'Hara Chapbook Award. A former 
truckdriver, swimming pool operator, attic insulator/weatherizer, 
blood bank driver, political activist and all round handygirl, she now 
teaches creative writing at SF State University. www.tonimirosevich.com
