Julie Bentsen is a poet and surrealist illustrator from the forgotten realms of Staten Island, which she represented in the 2016 and 2018 National Poetry Slam competition. As a poet she enjoys performing absurd critiques of corporate dehumanization. Her work focuses on dreams, nightmares, and automated phone menus. As a visual artist she enjoys creating live pen & ink sketches to live poetry, and has done so at events with 3Po3try NYC, Deep Tanks Studios, Post:blank magazine, NYSAI magazine, and Lumen. She has illustrated the book covers for There's Always Tomorrow by Thomas Fucaloro, MIstaken Identity Crisis by MA Dennis, and A Chronicle of Angels by Vincent Vok.

Ryan Buynak is a writer from New York City, a music geek, a comedy nerd, and an all-around pop culture casualty. He has published 10 books which sit on bookshelves and backs of toilets all over the wide world. If you're looking for him because he owes you money or something, you can find him by simply searching the internet for Coyote Blood.
