Brenda Iijima's forthcoming works include revv. you'll--ution
(Displaced Press) & If Not Metamorphic (Ahsahta Press). She writes
about animal-ability. Present work deals with animals used as
surrogates by humans (other animals). She runs Portable Press at Yo-Yo
Labs & lives in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.

Kristin D'Agostino is the side-project-queen of
participatory/dialogic/littoral/interventionist jewelery in New
Zealand. As she sees it jewelery is about relationships, so why stop
at the object? Why not make a relationship for her objects to live
within? She is actively recruiting North American participants for her
first bi-hemisphere, co-owned, brooch project called Rare Fungal
Behaviour & would very much like to see brooches popping up, like
ghosts, around the five Burroughs. You can find more information here
www.rarefungalbehaviour.blogspot.com.

Craig Foltz is a writer and multi-media artist who lives on the slopes
of a dormant volcano in Auckland, New Zealand. This one is not a test.
If I understand the meaning of the word correctly. He is the author of
The States, from Ugly Duckling Presse, & you can see his work at
www.craigfoltz.com.

Daniel Lin has a chapbook, Tinder, from Nightboat Books, & has
recently published poems in Unsplendid, Notre Dame Review & The Jewish
Quarterly. He was a N.Y. Times Fellow at NYU & a Tennessee Williams
Scholar at Sewanee Writers’ Conference. He co-edits Love among the
Ruins, which will publish limited-edition chapbooks & an online
journal.
