Daniel Ausema is an educator and stay-at-home dad. His poems have appeared in Strange Horizons, Fantasy Magazine, Dreams & Nightmares, and many other places and have been nominated for the Rhysling Award. He is also the author of the Arcist Chronicles and the creator of the Spire City series, as well as the writer of many short stories, roughly a hundred of which have been published in places like Diabolical Plots and Strange Horizons. He lives in Colorado at the foot of the Rockies and can be found online at danielausema.com.

Brian U. Garrison (he/him) catches new, old, and otherworldly jazz from the radio station KMHD in Portland, Oregon. His poetry has appeared in Fantasy & Science Fiction, Asimov's, Dreams & Nightmares, and elsewhere. His chapbook Micropoetry for Microplanets (Space Cowboy Books) celebrates the smallish to medium rocks that circle our sun. He serves as Managing Editor for Eye to the Telescope.
