Gabe Foreman grew up in northwestern Ontario. He has been compiling an encyclopaedia of personality types that doubles as a book of poems. It’s totally scientific. He lives in Montreal.

Zachary Gaviller is what one might refer to as a lazy-ass. A man afflicted with dim flashes of promise that are seldom recorded or worth noting. Occasionally he might surprise you with some witty reparte but don't hold your breath. He has an affinity for smashing ungraceful words into sentences and sentences into stanzas. He rhymes more than any sober man would dare and calls himself a poet. If his "poems" have appeared in any publications then he is both thankful and profoundly sorry. He is a tall and complicated man with a cabbage for a head.

Leigh Kotsilidis writes poems. She also eats, sleeps and breathes Montreal.

Joshua Trotter recently moved to Montreal. His first book, tentatively titled "All This Could Be Yours," will be published sometime soon by Biblioasis press.

Zachariah Wells is the author of Unsettled (trade poetry collection, Insomniac Press, 2004) and Track & Trace (poetry collection, Biblioasis, 2009), co-author of Anything But Hank! (children's picture book, Biblioasis, 2008) and the editor of Jailbreaks: 99 Canadian Sonnets (anthology, Biblioasis, 2008). An award-winning critic and the reviews editor for Canadian Notes & Queries magazine, Wells will publish a collection of critical prose, Career Limiting Moves, with Biblioasis in 2010. Born and raised on Prince Edward Island, Wells has lived in six different provinces and territories. He presently lives in Vancouver.

One of the energetic leads of the Birthday Boys, Jordan Mack is a fine musical storyteller and to hear him play solo is a pleasure and a joy. Come get an earful. You won't regret it.

Otherwise known as the Muddy Hack, Mike Wallace creates remarkably cogent sense out of seemingly random collections of words. Listening to him is worth every minute of your time.
