Kimberly K Williams is the author of three books, Still Lives (Life Before Man, 2022), Sometimes a Woman (Recent Work Press, 2021) and Finally, the Moon, (Stephen F Austin University Press, 2017). Kimberly was short-listed for the University of Canberra’s Vice-Chancellor’s Poetry Prize in 2019, and won the Bright Harvest Poetry Prize in 2012. Her poems appear in many journals and anthologies around the world. Kimberly moved to Canberra to work on a PhD after twenty years of writing and teaching in the U.S. Southwest and currently serves as the director for the Poetry on the Move Festival. She is originally from Detroit, Michigan.

Steffi Linton has always loved poetry, but only began writing her own poems a few years ago when she accidentally took a creative writing class as an elective. Since then, she has had a number of poems published by UC’s First anthology and magazine Curieux. Her first chapbook, More to Lose, explores through a feminist lens the interconnected issues of disordered eating, beauty standards, and social norms.
