Picture
Joanna Anabo is a pro of achieving great things at the last second. From her time at UC Santa Cruz as an undergrad in English Literature to her future of Poetics at Mills, her tenacity to slap some words together and feel impressed by their reception has continued to push her to do fantastic things. A lady with a minotaur on her thigh and fire with her eyes.

Loria Mendoza

Loria Mendoza hails from Austin, Texas, where she learned to keep it weird. Seeking the constancy of the bizarre, she moved to the Bay Area, where she earned her MFA from San Francisco State University. Her work has been published or is forthcoming in Acentos Review, Mobius, Subprimal, Red Light Lit, The Walrus, and Transfer Magazine. Her book, Life’s Too Short, won the Michael Rubin Book Award in 2016.

His work has appeared in A cappella Zoo, Entropy, Inkwell, Transfer Magazine, Red Light Lit, Writing Without Walls, and in readings in many sorts of dens. He writes prose, poetry and music, and trips graciously but liberally through the bay, never forgetting his shit-together-glasses for sunset.
