Andrew Joron was born in San Antonio, Texas, in 1955 and grew up in Stuttgart, Germany; Lowell, Massachusetts; and Missoula, Montana. He attended the University of California at Berkeley, where he majored in history and philosophy of science. After a decade and a half spent writing science-fiction poetry, culminating in his volume Science Fiction (Pantagraph Press, 1992), he turned to a more philosophical mode of speculative lyric. This work has been collected in The Removes (Hard Press, 1999) and in Fathom (Black Square, 2003). He is also the translator, from the German, of the Marxist-Utopian philosopher Ernst Bloch’s Literary Essays (Stanford University Press, 1998), and the surrealist Richard Anders’s aphorisms and prose poems. Andrew lives in Berkeley, where he works as a freelance bibliographer and indexer.

Admission is free


Kelly Holt is a San Francisco native. She has two chapbooks, Jesstures (¡Mirab.dict!, 2005) and Equidistances (PonyXpress, 2000). Her poems have or will appear in Faux Press's Bay Poetics Anthology, Fulcrum, New American Writing, Jacket, 6,500, Mirage 4/Period(ical), Tolling Elves, Small Town, Commonweal and Fourteen Hills. She has taught at SFSU, Academy of Art University, and UC Santa Cruz, where she is a PhD Candidate in Literature. She is writing a dissertation on the Berkeley Renaissance poets and Ernst Kantorowicz.

Carra Stratton’s hopeful her name will suffice. She’s from Buffalo. She lives here now, where she goes to school.. no recent publications and it's embarrassing to list your publications with those 10 year gaps, like job resumes and the employers get suspicious because they think you could be a little mad or just not serious enough to stay. She suggests throwing mounds of paint on limos and persons -- red or blue. symbolism is confusing.
