Daniel Bouchard's poetry collections include The Filaments (Zasterle Press), Some Mountains Removed (Subpress) and Diminutive Revolutions (Subpress). Recent essays have appeared in The Capilano Review (on George Stanley's Vancouver) and Jacket2 (on Rachel Blau DuPlessis's Drafts) and Let the Bucket Down (on Fanny Howe's poetry). He edited the print-only poetry journal The Poker from 2003-2009. Chris Warner, graduate of the Harvard University School of Education (M.Ed., ’97), is (still) an emerging poet, and the author of a micro-chapbook, Strokes (Mostly) in Silence; her poem, “Engulfed” was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. She’s been much-compared to Anne Sexton, and is also often described in terms of royalty, as in: ‘The Queen of Longing,’ and ‘The Princess of Suburban Dystopia.’ Chris also teaches yoga, core strength, and mindfulness meditation in West Boxford, MA, and offers workshops (including MBSR) throughout the greater Boston area. In January of 2014, Chris began co-leading the creative writing program for inmates at MCI Concord, medium security prison. Her writing process is, as Stephen King says, “ass in seat.” Everyday. And she also works, everyday, at letting go of attachment to outcome.
