Jeremy Hickson
Born Jeremy Hickson, “Jack” would self label as a fledgling Maverick; they are but a student of Life. The stage/pen name is inspired by the idea that, as a creative being, they are a Jack of all trades… master of some. As a queer, biracial, multiethnic United States-ian, their work reaches at once backwards as roots, and forwards as canop
Born Jeremy Hickson, “Jack” would self label as a fledgling Maverick; they are but a student of Life. The stage/pen name is inspired by the idea that, as a creative being, they are a Jack of all trades… master of some. As a queer, biracial, multiethnic United States-ian, their work reaches at once backwards as roots, and forwards as canopy. It ranges from the metaphysical to the very physical; diversity rings out — an anthem. Jack holds a Bachelor’s degree from Rutgers University, and double majored in English and Sociology. They have always held an interest both in the literature and social structures of various periods: the interplay of the literary and literal worlds. In many of their poems, glimpses of the old masters can be gleaned, as well as influences from the not so distant past, and his present day poetic peers. A heartfelt thank you to all who hold space, and who carry a torch to contrast the darkness.

Laura Lilia resides in her hometown Houston, TX with her family, two pet chickens, and her niece Chihuahua. As a child, writing was always the best way of processing her unique unexpected life experiences within time, as life kept piling on, she drifted away from her writing. In early 2019, she attended local and online writing workshops all over the world to find her way back into writing. She created the pieces of poetry collections in her first debut poetry book “Becoming Forever Changing Leaves.” Her poetry has become a blueprint for how she was able to make sense of her unique experiences, and redirected her back into her walk of faith. Laura is a Community Health Worker in the medical field by day, attending school in the evenings, an active advocate for Suicide Prevention and Awareness with Poppy’s Run for Life, and is a continuously curious fan of experiencing life through art, fitness, and being in the world to inspire others... as others inspire her.

Jennifer K. Yancey, a.k.a. The Poet RoseGold, hails from “the real Gotham City” – a Bronx, New York native who discovered Poetry at 15 and began using it as a more creative way of communicating with the world. Coupled with her 20-year career as an Army photojournalist, Poet RoseGold knew how to capture the human condition in real time through her lens and record its consciousness with her pen. She jokingly refers to her work as “Incendiary Redbone Poetry,” highlighting the injustices tarnishing the American landscape; spirituality; intimacy; self-love/Black love; mental health; and (past) life in the military. Poet RoseGold’s voice has crossed time zones virtually and in-person, through podcasts and numerous community engagements, including an appearance on the “red-dot stage” at TEDx Colorado Springs, in 2019. Poet RoseGold is also a member of TESORO – a newly-formed organization whose purpose is to hold safe space internationally for women “word-warriors” to “do their work.” Poet RoseGold’s work has been featured in several anthologies: Between a Laugh and a Tear (1991); Love Letters to Gaia (2021); The Cuddy Family Foundation For Veterans Poetry Journal Volume One and The Cuddy Family Foundation For Veterans Poetry Journal Volume Two (2021); Poet Speak Magazine, issue #40 (2021); Rising Voices: Poems Toward A Social Justice Revolution (2022); These Fought in Any Case: A Collection of Poems and Short Stories by Veterans (2022); and I Can’t Breathe, vol. 2 (2022). Her debut Poetry book, Poetry Is A Love Language (But First, Lemme Tell You Something … ) is slated for a late 2023 release.

Sarah Doolittle, an English teacher from New Mexico, has been passionate about reading and writing from a young age. She wrote her first full-length story when she was eleven years old on her mother’s ancient brick of a computer, and began writing poetry in high school (usually during math classes). With a strong inclination towards poetry and short stories, Sarah pursued Education and English Literature at the University of New Mexico. Her studies ignited a deep fascination with the written word's power to illuminate the human experience. Although her writing covers diverse themes, Sarah predominantly explores subjects like grief, healing, closure, and empowerment, with an emphasis on the enchantment and magical qualities of nature.

TaurinV is a first-time author who hails from the city of RVA. His journey with poetry started with a trip to the library in middle school and a Nikki Giovanni poem.
That was the spark that led him to pick up a pen and try to put words together on paper.
He has been writing on and off since his teenage years but didn’t start sharing with the world until 2008. He began posting poems online and meeting other poets. He started writing a book soon after, but it never quite came together until now, thanks to the support of so many fellow poets along the way.
He is a dad, a veteran, Hip-Hop and Jazz head, a proud Blerd, a woodworker, a novice Film & TV enthusiast, a lover of all types of art and of course poetry.

Zachary Succardi, originally from northern New Jersey, spent his formative years immersed in the punk scene of the NYC tri-state area. This early exposure to the raw energy and creativity of punk music deeply influenced his artistic sensibilities. Fascinated by the power of lyrics, Zachary's passion for the written word blossomed, leading him to explore poetry as a teenager.
In 2006, Zachary made a significant life change, moving from New Jersey to the serene landscapes of New Mexico. His poetry, deeply rooted in the principles of haiku and modern haiku, reflects his lifelong journey through music, expression, and the search for true connection.
Zachary skillfully composes brief poems that remain with the reader well beyond the first encounter. By adopting the minimalist nature of modern haiku and the emotive resonance found in song lyrics, Zachary Succardi has established himself as a poet known for his impactful conciseness and enduring influence.
He lives in Albuquerque.
