Jean Day’s new books are The Triumph of Life, soon to appear from Insurance Editions, and Daydream, forthcoming from Litmus Press in June. Her various but not exactly checkered career has included bookselling, marketing, fundraising, union activism, and for the last two decades, working as a scholarly editor. One of her first books, A Young Recruit, was published by Roof in 1988.

Laura Moriarty is the author of numerous collections of poetry, including Rondeaux (1990), A Semblance: Selected and New Poems, 1975–2007 (2007), A Tonalist (2010), and Who That Divines (2014). She is also the author of the short novel Cunning (2000) and the science fiction novel Ultravioleta (2006).

In her work, Moriarty engages language and feminism; the poems buckle and fold against the constraints of hybrid, projectivist, and received forms.

Moriarty has served as archive director for the Poetry Center and American Poetry Archives at San Francisco State University and as deputy director of Small Press Distribution. She has taught at Naropa University, the Otis Art Institute, and Mills College. Her honors include a Poetry Center Book Award, a Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation Award in Poetry, a New Langton Arts Award, and a Fund for Poetry grant.
