This girl has a spectacular vision and sense of sound for things
unseen, but heard and unheard, but seen. She swears that she will
finish her schooling for good. She thinks that survival is a luxury,
and thus she is going to give this notion weight in her daily
activities and through her interactions with both inanimate and animate
beings. She is an elaborator, a traveler, but not a salesman. Chances
are she will beat you in a game of Scrabble. Buy her some purple
handcrafted German shoes, send her to Orcas Island or Kodiak Island,
surprise her. After all, she is from OH and her initials are LE. She
appreciates, among other things, her mother, basketball, Wisteria,
Liquidambar styraciflua, lakes, purple broccoli, dancing, and bees...

Patrick
Whitfill recently finished his PhD in Creative Writing from Texas Tech
University. An occasional thespian and musician, he is also an
unashamed super-fan of anything film related. His poetry can be
found in the Mid-American Review, Alabama Literary Review,
West Branch and others. A few of his short stories have found
homes online, as well. He was born, raised and educated in West
Texas.

Fundamentally a living being, experimenting as a human, Sarah Witt occasionally identifies herself as a cross-disciplinary visual artist. Primarily focusing in performative video works, Sarah fabricates and portrays characters that become influenced and controlled by their environments. After receiving her BFA in Film from Syracuse University in 2004, Sarah relocated to New York City where she was involved in commercial sculpture production and minor sauerkraut production. In 2007, a nomadic appetite led Sarah to Greensboro, North Carolina where she participated as an artist-in-residence at Elsewhere Artist Collaborative and has since been involved as a member of the Elsewhere Tenured Collective.
