ABIGAIL ASTOR, despite bouts of serious illness, graduated from Queens
College magna cum laude in 2001. An up-and-coming poetry power,
Abigailís work reflects her personal experiences with bipolar disorder and
post-traumatic stress disorder; most of her poetry was written during stays in
psychiatric hospitals.

DIANA LEE'S, native New Yorker, work has appeared in Sapphic Ink, Dykeís
World, She Magazine, and Zaftig: Well Rounded Erotica. Her most recent
novels, A Taste For Blood and Blood Price, are published or forthcoming from
Haworth Press. Diana can be seen zipping around the city in Zephyrus, her
purple power chair.

ELIZABETH MARCHITTI's poems have appeared in The Journal of New
Jersey Poets, Lips, The Paterson Literary Review, Passager, and Without
Halos. She has published two chapbooks: Off-Season and Let Winter Come.
