MARLON CAREY (INPHYNIT) is a member of the 2010 Boston Lizard lounge Poetry Slam team. Named best Hip Hop Poet by the Cambridge Poetry Awards two years in a row, he has been the Boston Cantab Lounge's "Grand Slam Champion" and performed with the Jeff Robinson Trio. With a blend of eclectic themes, wordplay and wit, Marlon concocts a magical brew of fun with words.

DARCIE DENNIGAN writes poetry and plays. Her second poetry collection, Some Antics, will be published in February by Canarium Books.

RIC ROYER is a writer, performer, writer of performances and performer of writings. He makes Word Shows. It's like theatre, but with extra words. His works of literature include The Weather Not the Weather (Outside Voices) Hystery of Heat (Publishing Genius), There Were One and It Was Two (Narrow House), and Anthesteria (Bark Art Press). He is also a founding editor of Ferrum Wheel, now captained by Chris Fritton.

KATE SCHAPIRA is the author of three books and many chapbooks of poetry. She lives in Providence, RI, where she teaches writing to students of all ages and co-curates the Publicly Complex Reading Series.

MAIRÉAD BYRNE has been written by four poetry collections, The Best of (What’s Left of) Heaven (Publishing Genius 2010), Talk Poetry (Miami University Press 2007), SOS Poetry (/ubu Editions 2007), Nelson & The Huruburu Bird (Wild Honey Press 2003); a bunch of chaps and chapbooks; two daughters Marina and Clio, and the cities of Dublin, London, Paris, Istanbul, and New York. In Providence, she hosts a wild mix of a monthly poetry/performance series, couscous@as220, and has for the last nine years been engaged in a teaching and learning project at Rhode Island School of Design.
