Camille Melody Cassada is an almost-graduate of Warren Wilson College who, at 24 years of age, spends most of her time around antiques, her two Jane Austen-named kittens, and her beautiful/painful mindset. She's a pale little thing with a penchant for semicolons, lace, and so-bad-it's-yummy pop music. In her opinion, the world needs more sequins, synchronized dance, and hyphenated words.
Becky Upham is a graduate of the UNC-Chapel Hill and holds an MA in Writing from Hollins University. She has been a teacher, cocktail waitress, fitness instructor, mother-of-three, dj, non-profit manager, race director and a drug rep, and now is writing a book.
Joanna Knowles, a graduate of UNCA, has published various poems and essays in local publications such as the Mountain Xpress and Rapid River. Two of her poems are in the current edition of The Nantahala Review. She was the recipient for the 2007-2008 Topp/Grillot Scholarship for poetry at UNCA and of the Carl Sandberg Award in 2008.
Amanda Gardner is a junior in the creative writing department at UNCA. She is a former migrant farm worker and backpacker who currently lives in Asheville with her partner Ashleigh.
Lori Horvitz’ short stories, poetry, and personal essays have appeared in a variety of literary journals and anthologies including The Southeast Review, Hotel Amerika and Thirteenth Moon. She is an Associate Professor of Literature and Language at UNCA.
Catherine Reid teaches creative writing at Warren Wilson College, where she specializes in creative nonfiction. She is the author of COYOTE: SEEKING THE HUNTER IN OUT MIDST, and co-edited two anthologies of work by lesbian writers, EVERY WOMAN I'VE EVER LOVED and HIS HANDS, HIS TOOLS, HIS SEX, HIS DRESS.

lights
i dreamed last night that i came upon a place in the forest where a small community had been. there was nobody there, but what remained was still connected to sources of power somehow. the buildings were like advanced tree-houses, with sturdy frames, lighting, and open sides that faced the direction of the sun rise. there were strings and strings and strings of white christmas tree lights connecting one "house" from another, and even arranged around some trees to give the effect of a may pole. as i came upon them, a man appeared out from behind something, and then several men, and then what seemed to be an entire village. they told me they had to leave. that "they" were coming to tear everything down, that they had been discovered and were considered trespassers. it was getting torn down soon, i was told, so i'd better look now, and remember everything. all of the lights were turned on and it looked like i skeleton with all the bare limbs in the cold.
as i looked, the lights began flickering and dying one at a time until they were all out, and you could only hear bulldozers in the distance.
