Former girl scout Laura LeHew is obsessed with the creepy, creaky underbelly of life and whatever lies beyond. She lives in the realm of possibility, where anything can happen. She is constantly thinking of new ideas and themes to convey in my work. Her intent is to create works that are formally and aesthetically engaging while conceptually connecting with the everyday; to reify the ordinary into the extraordinary; to question realities—social, political and otherwise. Poetry is a way to explore and understand those ideas which frustrate and confront her.
Poetry forms itself, as a whole, in her head—title, form, line length, line break.
Laura received her MFA from the California College of the Arts, co-hosts the reading series, Poetry for the People, received writing residencies to Hypatia-in-the-Woods, PLAYA, MAR, and Soapstone. She owns and edits Uttered Chaos, a small press. Laura knows nothing of gardens or gardening but is well versed in the cultivation of cats.

ROY R. SEITZ is a poet with no initials behind his name.
Catches reads now and then. Has been known to drive
the meek insane and the humble to do whatever the humble do when driven insane. Hearing his work is mandatory in his mind.

Your host will be
