Gary Jackson’s poetry manuscript Missing You, Metropolis—which revolves around comic book characters—was selected by Yusef Komunyakaa as the winner of the Cave Canem Prize and published by Graywolf Press, 2010. Gary is a recent graduate of the MFA program and has been living in South Korea for the last year. This will be his first event back in the country and the official release of Missing You, Metropolis.

Lauren Camp juggles a visual art career, teaching creative writing workshops, tutoring English, and producing the music/poetry program "Audio Saucepan" for KSFR-FM. Last year, one of her poems was selected Editors' Choice by Rhino, and other poems have appeared recently in Thema, J Journal and Sin Fronteras. She is the author of This Business of Wisdom (West End Press, 2010).

Richard Vargas has two books published: McLife and American Jesus. He was born and raised in L.A./O.C., and graduated from Cal State Univ, Long Beach. He is currently enrolled in the Creative Writing MFA program, and has launched a new poetry magazine titled The Mas Tequila Review.
