Laura Woltag is a poet living in the east bay. She is the author of the chapbook Hush Hyletics (Portable Press @ Yo Yo Labs) and is at work on her first book-like thing.

Her poems have been installed along the Deer Creek trail in Nevada City by Unmanned minerals, and appear in print in Where Eagles Dare, Try, OMG!, and the anthology It's Night in San Francisco but it's Sunny In Oakland.


Yosefa Raz’s poetry and translations have appeared in ZYZZYVVA, Tikkun, Lilith, Zeek, Try!, Sundial, and Mrs. Maybe. She is the author of the poetry book In Exchange for a Homeland (Swan Scythe Press 2004) and co-translator of Women's Hebrew Poetry on American Shores (Wayne State University Press 2015). She lives in Toronto, Oakland, and Tel-Aviv.
