Marika Prokosh is a Winnipeg writer and English Literature undergraduate. Her poetry has appeared in Juice, the University of Winnipeg's creative writing journal. She was an apprentice writer in the Sheldon Oberman Emerging Writers Mentorship Program (2004), and is currently a volunteer organizer for the Speaking Crow open mic poetry series.
Kristian Enright is a writer who never escaped the concept of Winnipeg, where he has gotten an honors degree in Literature at his more miniature University of Winnipeg and has a kind of simulacra feeling of escape when he began his Master's degree at the University of Manitoba, out near the fields of the outskirts of this city. He has been a writer in residence at the former Label Gallery, has been published in Juice, Tart and recently added his own chapbook, Arguements for a Chapbook to the roster. He has plans to write a novel and hosts the Speaking Crow Reading series which he has been a part of for the past 9 years.
