Bio:

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.

Edward Igorevich Pankov is a poet of threshold spaces—where language dissolves, where fire purifies, where the unseen reveals itself. His work does not settle in the comfortable; it demands something of the listener. It is a ritual, a reckoning, a transmission from the liminal edges of consciousness. Born of old world blood and new world fire, Pankov weaves mysticism, philosophy, and lived experience into verses that do not merely speak, but summon. He channels poetry as invocation—of truth, of shadow, of what lurks beneath the surface but refuses to stay buried. A veteran of the underground, the sacred, and the subversive, he does not write for applause—he writes to awaken. His words are meant to haunt, to linger, to open doors you may not be ready to walk through. The doors are open. Step forward—if you dare.
