Featuring performances by:

Originally from Long Island, Pamela Garvey earned a B.A. from Loyola College-Baltimore, an M.A. in English from the University of Missouri-Columbia and an M.F.A. in creative writing from Virginia Commonwealth University. Finishing Line Press published her chapbook entitled Fear, a finalist for the New Women’s Voices competition, in 2008. Garvey has published poetry in many literary journals including The North American Review, Sonora Review, Spoon River Poetry Review, Pleiades, Cimarron Review and others. She has been a semi-finalist for the “Discovery”/The Nation Poetry Award. In 2004 she co-founded Words on Purpose, a St. Louis based committee of socially concerned writers who organize benefit readings. Assistant professor of English at St. Louis Community College-Meramec, Garvey lives in the city of St. Louis with her husband and son.

Ellen Birkett Morris is a writer and poet from Louisville, Kentucky. Her fiction has been published in Mindprints, A Literary Journal, Pedestal Magazine and Alimentum. Her story, "The Cycle of Life and Other Incidentals," was selected as a finalist in the Glimmer Train Press Family Matters short story competition. Her poetry has appeared in RHYME and REASON, Mindprints, The Centrifugal Eye, The Heartland Review, The Rambler, The Binnacle, The Pedestal Magazine Political Anthology and is forthcoming in Alimentum.

Angela Jackson-Brown is a student at Spalding University in the MFA in Creative Writing program. She is currently hard at work writing a novel entitled Drinking from a Bitter Cup, a collection of short stories set during the mid-1800s, and an autobiographical poetry collection. Angela resides in Louisville with her husband, Robert Brown, and her “furry children,” Apache, Little Bit, Sheba and Maya. Angela and Robert have a twenty-year-old son, Michael, and an eighteen-year-old-son, Justin.

In his twenty-eight years, John Mann has veered both near and far from his native western Kentucky. After going to college in Lexington, Mann moved for a brief period to San Diego, before returning to Kentucky and making the move to Louisville two years ago. With an interesting musical heritage (Mann's cousin is former Sun Records artist Carl Mann, who had a hit in the fifties with an up-tempo reworking of the pop standard, Mona Lisa), Mann has tried to keep his music planted in the present with an always-keen eye to the past. In December of 2004, John released his second album called Hands in the Pavement, which was in regular rotation for a year on WFPK 91.9 in Louisville, Ky.
