Rowan F. Neufeld (he/him) is a poet from Saskatoon on Treaty Six Territory. He is the Executive Director of JackPine Press and recently apprenticed with Bruce Rice as part of the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild 2025 mentorship program. Rowan’s work has been published in Silence Zine and Poetry All Over the Floor: Volume One. When not writing, you’ll find him crafting or distracted by birds.
Mark Romphf was born and remains in Saskatoon. He graduated from Saskatchewan Polytechnic back when it was called SIAST and has since been working as an over-caffeinated software developer. He is lazy about changing his guitar strings and manages winter with a frivolous collection of patterned sweaters. Online he sometimes goes by Mike Romeo.
