Nain Christopherson (she/her) lives, writes poems, and teaches high school in Salt Lake City, Utah; she spends her extracurricular hours at the movies and doing backyard theater with her friends. Her work has been featured in SUNHOUSE, The Shore, Scribendi, and The Exponent II, and was longlisted for Frontier Poetry’s 2023 Award for New Poets.
Cole Barkey (he/him) is a part-time poet, full-time nerd from Salt Lake City, Utah. He graduated from the University of Utah with a BS in Cognitive Neuropsychology and an Associates in Human Development, and has worked for several years as a Neurofeedback therapist. When he isn’t writing anti-capitalist poetry, he spends his time hyper-fixating on any and every medium of fictional media and being a mediocre fly-fisherman.
