Brittany Baldwin grew up in the foothills west of Denver, Colorado. She moved to Portland five years ago because she writes better on cloudy days. She has read on KBOO’s Talking Earth, was featured at the Silverton Poetry Festival 2006 and 2007 and has published in numerous local zines. In November 2005 she published her first collection of poetry, Broken Knuckles Against Knives Cutting The Food To Feed Me Through This.

Sean Patrick Hill is a writer and teacher. He graduated with a MA from Portland State University in 2006, where he won the Burnham Graduate Award. Sean was also awarded a grant from the Regional Arts and Culture Council in 2007 and residencies to the Montana Artists Refuge and Fishtrap. His work has appeared recently in Windfall, The Bear Deluxe, Hipfish and High Desert Journal.

Barbara LaMorticella hosts "Talking Earth," a regular poetry program on KBOO in Portland.  Her second collection of poems, Rain on Waterless Mountain, was a finalist for the Oregon Book  Award.  In 2005 she won the Stewart Holbrook Award for Outstanding Contribution to Oregon Literary Life. She lives in the hills outside Portland.

Brittany came up north and did a reading at the Barnes & Noble in the 'Couv last week. Her poetry is unique and her performance was excellent.

Indeed, Brittany is not to be missed. Going back to the old daze at the Subterranean Beat Revival, when the entire room was drunken mumbling, her voice went through it like electric butter... and only when she was finished did you realize the whole place had gone silent. As well, she's an amazing cook!
