He often reads his work on the radio\, at Day without Art programs\, and at venues like the Leslie-Lohman Gay and Lesbian Art Museum. \n  \n \nGraham Coppin is a recovering mathematician and poet now working as a leadership coach and consultant. He was born and raised in South Africa and emigrated to the US just before his homeland’s first democratic elections in 1994.

He currently resides in a not-so-gentrified-yet-thank-God part of Brooklyn. \n  \n \nJoseph Harker is a linguist and poet often found prowling the trains and cafés of the Northeast. Currently\, he edits Assaracus\, a journal of gay male poetry; his own work has appeared in various journals and anthologies\, including Ganymede\, Hobble Creek Review\, qarrtsiluni\, and others. He does the Twitter thing at @JHPoet\, and the blog thing at https://namingconstellations.wordpress.com\, which you are welcome to visit\, if you promise to wipe your feet. \n  \n \nJee Leong Koh is the author of four books of poems. A new collection titled Steep Tea is forthcoming from Carcanet Press in July.
