<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Kelli Stevens Kane</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> is a poet, playwright, and oral historian. In
describing <i>Hallelujah Science,</i> her debut collection of poetry,
author Willie Perdomo says, “Kane’s level of insight, revelation, and
economy becomes a spiritual exodus to the lands of being Black, white, a
poet, a woman, a shadow, and a human being.” She’s a Cave Canem
Fellow who has also studied at VONA, Hurston/Wright, and Callaloo. She’s
read, published and performed nationally.

just 12. Eventually settling in the United States
, he earned a BA from California State University
, Long Beach , and an MFA from Louisiana State
University and is currently an
associate professor of creative writing at Florida
State University
in Tallahassee
. <span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">His tenth volume of poetry is THE PAINTED BUNTING’S LAST
MOLT ( University
of Pittsburgh Press ,
2020). </span>In both his poetry and his prose, Suárez seeks to capture the
experience of migration. His work has appeared in a multitude of magazines and
journals internationally. He has also been taking photographs on the road for
the last three decades. When he is not writing, he is out riding his motorcycle
up and down the Blue Highways of the Southeast, photographing disappearing
urban and rural landscapes.</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><b><span style="color: black; font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><b><span style="color: black; font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><b><span style="color: black; font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><b><span style="color: black; font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"><a href="http://www.kostany.com/hemingwayspoetryseries/2021-05-19/Virgil%20Suarez%20Reading%20of%202021-05-19.mp3" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Virgil Suárez</span> - Click to Play (Right-Click to Download)</a></span></span></b></span></b></span></span></span></span></b></span></b></span></span></span></span></b></span></b></span></span></span></span></b></span></b></span></span> <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Joan E.

been described by Herbert Woodward Martin as one who writes with
"immediacy of tone, voice and language." Much of her work to date charts
in images and music the lived experiences of a small-town girl brought up in a
house across from the boney dump of Republic Steel Coal Mines outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
She has been published in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pennsylvania</i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Review, Pittsburgh

a narrative poet in the greatest tradition of American storytellers.</span></span></span></p>
