Featuring:

JANE LEVIN is thrilled to launch her chapbook, Legacy, a collection of poems with a focus on GLBT, Jewish and cancer-survivor experiences. Her work appears in over two dozen publications, including Subterraneans: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Writing, Talking Stick, The Houston Literary Review and the forthcoming anthologies Drash: Northwest Mosaic and Best Lesbian Poetry 2008. She is the recipient of a Jerome Foundation/ Intermedia Arts Mentorship in Poetry and a Howard B. Brin Jewish Arts Endowment grant. Jane and her partner have escaped winter by volunteering on organic farms in New Zealand, cleaning bathrooms in an Arizona state park and cooking for displaced residents in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward.

MICHÈLE CAMPBELL writes essays, book reviews, and has been known to blog. She grew up in Southern California-in Orange County, the city of Orange, on Orange Street. Her parents drove an orange Toyota Corolla hatchback during her formative years. As a result, she often wonders if there is any way around that rhymes with orange rule-it is possible that this is what led her to begin writing. She is currently finishing up work on a memoir titled: How To Live With a Drunk and is becoming an active freelance writer in the Twin Cities.
