Daphne Gottlieb
San Francisco-based Performance Poet Daphne Gottlieb stitches together the ivory tower and the gutter just using her tongue. She is the editor of Fucking Daphne: Mostly True Stories and Fictions and Homewrecker: An Adultery Reader, as well as the author of the poetry books Kissing Dead Girls, Final Girl, Why Things Burn and Pelt, as well as the graphic novel Jokes and the Unconscious with artist Diane DiMassa.
Sarah Katherine Lewis is the author of Sex and Bacon: Why I Love Things That are Very, Very Bad For Me (Seal, 2008) and Indecent: How I Make It and Fake It as a Girl For Hire (Seal, 2006) and has contributed to several anthologies, including Fucking Daphne: Mostly True Stories and Fictions (Seal, 2008). A ten-year veteran of the adult industry in Seattle, Portland, and New Orleans, she now spends her time maintaining her popular blog, at SarahKatherineLewis.com, writing, and playing with food in Seattle, Washington. An outspoken (and often outrageous) feminist activist, she works to promote global revolution and dreams of a world where all women feast like Vikings.
Cindy Emch
Cindy Emch is addicted to poetry, road trips and muscle cars. She can often be found writing highway poems and playing the accordion for one of her two bands, Vagabondage and Rhubarb Whiskey. Cindy's writing has been been published in the Can I Sit With You project, LodeStar Quarterly, There Journal, 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 2005.
