Elizabeth Moylan is an artist, writer, and freelance educator based in Brooklyn. She holds a BA in Gender Studies from the University of Chicago, where she also studied Russian Language and Literature, and an MFA in Painting and Drawing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she was an instructor of painting, print media, and fiber and material studies. She has also taught through the Brooklyn Public Library and been a guest lecturer at the Rhode Island School of Design. She has years of experience studying and translating classical Latin and Greek poetry. She considers that early immersion in ancient poetics as foundational to her practice today, for at the heart of all poetry is song. Her work has been published in Dead End Zine and she has been a featured reader at Verses in Vinyl at All Blues and at the Out of the Box series at the Bowery Poetry Club.

Alejo A. Rodriguez is a poet, published author, and former professional basketball player from Dyckman, New York. Though he began writing at a young age, he hesitated to share his work until he overcame self-doubt and released Bad Poetry Vol. 1: Tumbleweed. His debut was praised for its raw emotion and authenticity. Now, with Bad Poetry Vol. 2: Rain set for late 2025, Alejo continues to evolve, offering an even deeper exploration of unfiltered emotions. Stay connected with him on Instagram @badpoetry21 or via email at badpoetry21@gmail.com.

Brian Pawlikowski is a Queens-born poet who currently writes from Brooklyn. Inspired by the work of poets like Roberto Montes and Frank O’Hara & songwriters like Florence Welch and Adrianne Lenker, Brian primarily writes through his interpersonal relationships to capture their quirks, gravity, and beauty. Drawing upon humor, desire, futility, and reconstructed memory, Brian aims to move readers who can find themselves reliving a familiar feeling.

Zury Lowell is a writer and filmmaker from the Hudson Valley, now based in NYC. Their work can be seen featured in various zines by ‘Poetry Is a Team Sport’ (PITS), ‘Zine Club NYC’, and ‘West 4th Zine’. Their poetry centers femininity and significant women throughout their life, which (sometimes) includes themself.
