Zachary Harris is (like everyone) a poet and teacher. A largely ambivalent native Pittsburgher, he holds an MFA from Cornell University, and has completed residencies at the Millay and MacDowell Colonies. A chapbook, 'There is another poem, in which the news is erased and rewritten,' was published by DIAGRAM/New Michigan Press. Individual poems have appeared in West Branch, Pleiades, Ninth Letter, and jubilat, among others. He currently teaches Literary Arts at the Pittsburgh 6-12 School for the Creative and Performing Arts.
Sarah Elaine Smith is a Greene County native and recent/enthusiastic returnee to Pittsburgh. She is the author of 'I Live in a Hut,' winner of the Cleveland State University Poetry Center's 2011 first book prize. Her poems and stories have appeared in FENCE, jubilat, Tin House, Best New Poets, and Gulf Coast, among others. She has a poetry MFA from the Michener Center for Writers at UT-Austin and a fiction MFA from the Iowa Writers' workshop, and has been named a Keene Prize finalist, Rona Jaffe Wallace fellow, and Richard Yates Short Story prize winner. She and Zachary are also co-founders of Line Assembly, a literary citizenship project and documentary film. She is currently working on a novel and looking for a job.
