Melanie Neilson was born in Tennessee, lived in San Diego, California for many years, and moved to New York City in 1983. Her books include _Natural Facts_ (Potes & Poets Press, 1996) _Prop and Guide_ (The Figures, 1991) and _Civil Noir_ (Roof, 1991). She is a graduate of the University of California, San Diego and Hunter College. Since 1989, she has co-edited _Big Allis_ magazine with Jessica Grim. She is a writer-producer for film and TV, and lives in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Heather Fuller is the author of _perhaps this is a rescue fantasy_ (Edge Books) and is the Poetry Editor for The Washington Review. Leslie Scalapino says "Heather Fuller's lines are 'moves' being made." Kristen Gallagher writes: "Moves being made around an urban environment where the speaker/writer of the poems is: not safe, on the defensive, still able to recognize and feel, acutely, the daily damage done to others, while attempting examination of events with equally disturbed artistic form."
