Nicole Griffin is a writer and social activist living and loving in Oakland by way of Sacramento. She earned an MFA in Creative Writing/Poetry at Mills College in Oakland last spring and completed June Jordan’s Student-Teacher-Poet program, Poetry for the People at UC Berkeley. Her poems have appeared in the anthology, What I Want from You, The Walrus and The Womanist. She is currently working on her first book of poems, entitled, The Body Remembers.
Catherine Daly
Catherine Daly is author of eight books of poetry. She has worked as a technical architect for twenty years; much of her work engages technology. Three of her books are available online, and she has also developed online courseware in creative writing. She has an MFA from Columbia University, continues a visual art practice as a member of the LA Art Girls, and, as an independent scholar, researches women's
writing in general, women's modernist poetry, and the relationship of art movements to writing. She lives in Los Angeles, where she has designed and managed the restoration of two historic homes. Her husband is screenwriter, novelist, and playwright Ron Burch.
Margaret Hehn
Margaret Hehn lives with her husband and two children in Sacramento, where she practiced law for many years, then spent a decade volunteering with a hospice. She presently volunteers with a medical library. Her poetry has appeared in Atlantic Review, Bellingham Review, Margie, Nimrod, North American Review and many other journals. She is the author of four award winning chapbooks of poetry: Vanishings (Writer’s Voice, Tampa Metropolitan YMCA, 1998); Changing Shapes (Wind Publications, 2000); Balancing on Light (Riverstone Press, 2002); and Traveling Without a Map (Anabiosis Press, 2005). Her first book of poetry, The Trajectory of Sunflowers (The Backwaters Press, 2004), won the Readers’ Choice Award. In 2009, a volume of her collected work, Trajectories, was published by The Legal Studies Forum. Five Prayers of Apples is her latest chapbook, which is part of the InSPIREd Poetry Series (Spire Press, New York, 2009). She is a past winner of the Tor House Prize in Poetry and has received three Pushcart nominations.
