Maryrose Larkin is the author of several books, including The Identification of Ghosts (Chax) Marrowing (Airfoil), and The Monsters Topic Sentence (The Magnificent Field).

Jen Coleman is author of We Denizens (Furniture Press Books) and Psalms for Dogs and Sorcerors (Trembling Pillow Press). Jen met Sue Landers while they both earned MFAs from George Mason University in Virginia in the 1990s and then Jen followed Sue to New York. Jen met Maryrose when Jen moved to Portland in 2008 and was instantly a fan. Today, Jen is working on a volume of poems called because you asked and playing ukulele with the Stumptown Jug Thumpers.
