Ash/ley Frenkel is an artist of dabbling and educator from Brooklyn. They like to doodle, play in the kitchen, break out into song spontaneously, cackle loudly, and write poetry. In 2022, they self-published a handbound book of poems called the erotic garden. Other work of theirs can be found in Irrelevant Press, the winnow, and Tiny Spoon.

Misa Levey (sounds like “Lease a Chevy”) is a PhD dropout who spends her weekdays wrangling copy for a funny greeting card company. Her first chapbook I DON’T WANT TO was recently published by Iniquity Press/Vendetta Books, and she’s had poems appear in a few issues of BIG HAMMER magazine. Reviews of her chapbook include: “Her poems are a punch to the gut,” “The book made me uncomfortable,” “It’s the dog’s balls,” and “It’s too short.”
