Robyn Sarah was born in New York City to Canadian parents and grew up in Montreal, where she still lives.  A poet, writer, literary editor, and musician, she is the author of nine poetry collections  as well as two collections of short stories and a book of essays on poetry. Her poems have been broadcast by Garrison Keillor on The Writer’s Almanac and anthologized in The Best Canadian Poetry in English (2009 and 2010), The Bedford Introduction to Literature, The Norton Anthology of Poetry, and Modern Canadian Poets: An Anthology (UK).  She is currently poetry editor for Cormorant Books in Ontario.

Daniela Elza’s work has appeared nationally and internationally in over 80 publications. Her poetry books are the book of It (Ebook, and Print, 2011), the weight of dew (Mother Tongue Publishing, 2012) and milk tooth bane bone (Leaf Press, 2013). Daniela lives and writes in Vancouver.

Daniela Elza's milk tooth bane bone is a book that sweeps across the reader's consciousness like a bird's wing. The poems do something rather miraculous: fragmentary yet narrative, grounded yet mythic, they deconstruct and build simultaneously, forge and empty out meanings and images.
