Good Ghost Bill (aka Bill Moran Poetry)

"Bill Moran is a second-year MFA poetry candidate at Louisiana State University and a former medic. He was the 2012 & 2013 Austin Poetry Slam Champion, has performed and taught poetry internationally, and served as president of Mic Check, a non-profit poetry organization in Brazos County, Texas.

He appreciates your concern and well-wishes, but swears he is okay. Really."

Andrew Galan

“Andrew Galan is an internationally published poet and co-producer of renowned poetry event BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!. Described by reviewers as ‘riddled with satire’, his poetry is gut, direct, and imagination and reality meeting to eat and fight. Showcased at events including the Woodford, National Folk and Queensland Poetry festivals, and Chicago’s Uptown Poetry Slam, his verse appears in journals such as the Best Australian Poems, Jet Fuel Review and Cordite. That Place of Infested Roads (life during wartime) - KF&S Press, 2013 - is his first book. His latest is for all the veronicas (The Dog Who Staid) - Bareknuckle Books, 2016.”

Jacqui Malins

“Jacqui Malins is a performance poet who writes about the things she can't forget, the things she wants to remember, the things she doesn’t understand and the things wants to change. Jacqui was one of the ACT representatives in the 2015 Australian Poetry Slam final, was selected best walk-up poet at Woodford Folk Festival 2015 and placed second in the recent Word Travels/State Library of NSW Sonnet Slam celebrating the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. Jacqui is also part of Mother Tongue, organising multilingual poetry events in Canberra.”
