Nick Admussen's work appears in publications like the Kenyon Review Online, the Boston Review and in Blackbird: his first chapbook, Movie Plots, is due out this winter as an Epiphany Editions Book Kit.  He is a Ph. D. candidate in modern Chinese literature, preparing a dissertation on contemporary Chinese prose poetry.

Heather Dundas is a College Doctoral Fellow in Fiction for the Ph.D. in Literature and Creative Writing at USC. In earlier incarnations, she was a playwright, producer, lyricist, teaching artist, writer of cooking shows, editor of medical textbooks, and was once hired to write a dramatic version of The Odyssey for fifth graders, but told to leave out “all sex, violence and pagan worship.” Her plays have been produced around the country.

Elizabeth Wilcox grew up in the DC area, accidentally moved to Los Angeles with no goals, and is now happily a PhD student in Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Southern California. She was recently named a runner up in the Indiana Review's 1/2 K Prize, and she has work forthcoming there and in La Petite Zine. Her poems have also appeared in such publications as Gloom Cupboard, HazMat Literary Review, and Rhino.
