Kathleen Florence writes poetry for the stage. She puts down words to perform them up, monologue sing speak, move story sound around river flow. Born on the border of American beats and Canadian concretes, the language wordplay stirred from this bird has some sibling associations with her work as a visual artist and writer of grrrrl grunge rocker songs. Kathleen has performed poems in spaces high and low. This is her first solo feature.

Chuck Joy writes imaginative, entertaining poetry from a stance seeking wisdom and compassion. He lives in Erie, as far away from Philadelphia as is possible to still be in Pennsylvania. Born in Cleveland, both his parents from western New York, Joy has several published poetry collections including Said the Growling Dog and Percussive, and enjoys presenting his poetry live on stages like the Parkside Lounge.
