Jill Khoury
Jill is a collage of colloquialisms and clavicles. Jill has been pretending to be a human for over 30 years. Jill fears systemic erasure. Jill does not fear being smothered by kittens. Jill’s personal monster is self-doubt. Jill's favorite knickknacks are small wooden boxes and your words, refracted through afternoon light. Jill can be found on Twitter @sundaygray and on the interwebz at jillkhoury.com.
Shelby Dale DeWeese
Shelby is a senior majoring in Narrative Studies and Creative Writing at the University of Southern California. Shelby has served as a poetry editor for Fractal Literary Magazine and Teen Ink Magazine, interned for Gold Line Press and 826LA, and been a staff writer and copy editor for the Daily Trojan. Shelby does not fear having her identity stolen. Shelby's personal monster has always been frogs (and toads). Shelby's favorite knickknacks are photos of friends and family. Shelby can be found at shelbydaledeweese.wordpress.com.
Trevor Shikaze
Trevor is neither a friend nor relation. Trevor has never enjoyed a vacation. Trevor fears barbershop conversation. Trevor does not fear castration. Trevor’s personal monster deserves a standing ovation for its bold interpretation of the yawning annihilation awaiting every child, parent, pet, and nation. Trevor’s favorite knickknack is a parrot-shaped tool for opening libations. Trevor can be found locked in limitless hesitation, or at www.trevorshikaze.com.
