D. A. Powell is the author of Tea, Lunch and Cocktails. The latter was a
finalist for the Lambda and the National Book Critics' Circle Awards.
His most recent collection is Chronic (Graywolf, 2009). Together with
David Trinidad and a cast of hundreds, Powell is also the author of By
Myself: An Autobiography (Turtle Point, 2009). A former Briggs-Copeland
lecturer in Poetry at Harvard University, Powell now teaches in the
English Department at University of San Francisco.
Rachel Loden is the author of Dick of the Dead, which came out in May. Her
first book, Hotel Imperium, was selected as one of the ten best poetry books
of the year by the San Francisco Chronicle, which called it "quirky and
beguiling." It was also shortlisted for the Bay Area Book Reviewers Award.
Honors include two appearances in the Best American Poetry series, a
Pushcart Prize, a Fellowship in Poetry from the California Arts Council, and
a grant from the Fund for Poetry.
