JOANIE BRADDOCK is a trans poet completing her undergraduate degree in creative writing at the University of North Carolina at Asheville. Her work has been published in Headwaters, UNC Asheville's quarterly literary journal, the local Pansy Fest Zine, and her poem "St John in the Wilderness" received an honorable mention in the Association of Writer's & Writing Programs' 2019 Intro Journals Project. Her work captures an ethics of curiosity, parsing the intimately personal and the painfully cryptic with tenderness, wonder, and care. She believes in cultivating and sustaining community through art, political, and personal work (which are often the same) as a means of resisting alienation.
KAILYN COSLETT is a writer from LA county who mainly focuses on poetry and shorter forms of fiction. She's currently enrolled at a creative writing conservatory. She hasn't yet been published, but looks forward to emerging as a new writer.
After seven years of competitive gymnastics, ZAZI COX shifted to dance at fifteen, training in as many styles as she could at local Portland studios. At seventeen, she narrowed her focus to ballet and contemporary, training and performing with the Ballet Repertory Theatre of New Mexico and the New Mexico Ballet Company. After studying dance as a minor at the University of Houston, she returned to Portland to join Polaris Dance Theatre for their 2016-2017 season. She has been a guest dancer with various companies and live musicians, locally and out-of-state. A writer as well, in her art she seeks to explore the process of self-reflection and the complexity of self-discovery.
