David Abel is a poet and interdisciplinary artist, and the proprietor of Passages Bookshop. With four friends, he initiated the Spare Room reading series in 2002. Several new books and a cassette gathering recordings from diverse projects are currently in production.

Sam Lohmann is a poet and librarian living in Vancouver, Washington; a co-organizer of Spare Room readings; and co-editor with David Abel of Airfoil Chapbooks. He wrote Poems for Shy Communists (Airfoil, 2024) for you, maybe.

Chris Daniels, a feral translator of global Lusophone poetry, lives and works in Oakland, California. His books include book-length translations of Josely Vianna Baptista, Fernando Pessoa, and Adelaide Ivanova. One Impossible Step, the selected poems of Orides Fontela, was recently published by Nightboat Books.
