Bios:


Jay Chollick


Jay Chollick born 1995, to poetry, that is--has an aversion to formal bios. A frequent featured performer at venues throughout New York City and its environs, he is the Poet Laureate of the Saturn Series and Poet Local Laureate of A Shout Out at Otto's Shrunken Head. His poetry has appeared on-line at Poetz.com, theshoutoutatottos.blogspot.com, Poetry Central and Big City Lit, and is included in the anthology Cat Breath, edited by Miriam Stanley among many other places. (But don't let these "dull facts" interfere with your enjoyment of his poetry which is hardly the "same old same old.")



Karen Neuberg


Karen Neuberg’s chapbook, Detailed Still, is available from Poets Wear Prada Press (2009). Her poems have appeared in DIAGRAM, Ditch, Elimae, and others. She’s a Pushcart and Best of the Net nominee, holds an MFA from the New School and lives with her husband in Brooklyn and West Hurley, NY.
