Raúl Sánchez conducts Day of the Dead workshops. His most recent work is the Spanish translation of John Burgess’ Punk Poems in his book Graffito. His work has appeared online in The Sylvan Echo, Flurry, Gazoobitales, Pirene’s Fountain, and several times in La Bloga. He has been a board member of the Washington Poets Association and is a moderator for the Poets Responding to SB 1070 Facebook page. His inaugural collection, All Our Brown-Skinned Angels, is filled with poems of identity—cultural, familial, and personal, a civil protest, personal celebration, completely impassioned.

Angel Latterell originates from a land colder than Siberia on the shores of Lake Superior known as Duluth, Minnesota. Now living on the hills of Seattle overlooking Puget Sound, she can be found hard at work as an attorney, project manager, Buddhist youth leader, and poet/spoken word artist. Her poems have recently appeared in About Place, Fault Lines, and Colere, and her theater production, Intersection: a spoken word opera, debuted at Richard Hugo House in 2007. She is currently president of the Washington Poets Association and has cats on her shoes.
