Cathy Stonehouse (she/they) is a poet, writer, teacher and visual artist who migrated to Vancouver as a young adult from Thatcher’s England, and who lives in East Van, on the unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations. The author of a speculative, historically-based novel, The Causes (Pedlar Press, 2019), a collection of short fiction, Something About the Animal (Biblioasis, 2011), and two previous collections of poetry (Grace Shiver, Inanna Publications 2011, and The Words I Know, Press Gang 1994) Cathy co-edited the ground-breaking anthology Double Lives: Writing & Motherhood (MQUP, 2008) along with Fiona Tinwei Lam and Shannon Cowan, is a previous Editor of EVENT magazine and currently teaches creative writing and interdisciplinary expressive arts at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

Jude Neale is a Canadian poet, mentor, educator, opera singer and spoken word performer. Jude has publishes frequently in a variety of print and online journals, including The Antigonish Review, Ascent Aspirations, Quill, and Leaf Press. She is included in anthologies, and e-zines, and has been short-listed, highly commended, and a finalist in other international competitions. Jude believes that her writing should move, elevate, and illuminate. Her poems are like snapshots appearing on the page. They give a brief, intense look at love, sex, relationships, nature and desire. She prefers to keep her poems short to better capture the moments and images that are constantly filtering through her brain. Believing that in brevity lies power, Jude likes to start with a larger version of a poem and whittle it down to its essential self.

I do not think poetry is more, or less, necessary than food, shelter,
health, education, decent working conditions. It is as necessary.
