Elizabeth Ashe is a poet and sculptor. In her work she melds poetry/text/the oral tradition with the physical and site specific. She received an MFA in Creative Writing from Chatham. It took her a while but now she loves Pittsburgh, even though she\\\\\\\'s in round two of grad school in Baltimore.

Courtney Lora Lang is a printmaker and a writer. When not professing the wonders of creative writing or research to college undergraduates, she spends her time wandering the wilds of western Pennsylvania with her two dogs. Her two favorite words are currently adjunct and sublet.
