Joanna Hartell
Joanna Hartell is an artist, poet, and filmmaker who grew up in Philadelphia but lived in New York City and upstate New York for 30 years before moving back to Philly. Although most of her time has been spent working long days in the business of making films and TV shows, she likes to participate with artists cooperatives, and was a member of the High Wire group, where she met Cheryl, in the 1980's, and also The Outsider's Studio Collective, in Sullivan County, New York. Most of her recent poetry has come from participating in the Cascadia Poetic Lab's Postcard Poetry Fest, which takes place each August. During the POPO Fest (as it is affectionately called), one writes a poem on a postcard every day of August and mails it to someone, who will then mail back a poem they have written on a postcard. It is an exercise in sustained, concise, and free writing, as well as art therapy, in the making of or acquiring the cards. Thus, these poems came into existence.
Harriet Levin Millan
Prizewinning poet and novelist Harriet Levin Millan is the author of three books of poetry and a novel. Recent work appears in Narrative Magazine and One Art and is featured on The Painted Bride Quarterly's podcast, The Slushpile. She holds an MFA from the University of Iowa and teaches writing at Drexel University.
