Born in 1970, Devin Johnston spent his childhood in North Carolina. He is the author of four books of poetry, the most recent of which is Traveler (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2011); and two books of prose, including Creaturely and Other Essays (Turtle Point, 2009), reflections on the natural world. He works for Flood Editions, an independent publishing house, and teaches at Saint Louis University in Missouri.

William Fuller’s most recent book is Hallucination, published last year by Flood Editions. Quorum, a collection of sonnet-ish poems, will be published later this year by Seagull Books, Calcutta. J.H. Prynne has referred to him as the “SOAP–[or] Secrecy Officer of American Poetry,” which his reading may or may not bear out. Of Hallucination, Calvin Bedient wrote, “Ladies and gentlemen, a masterpiece.” He lives in Hubbard Woods.
