Her multidisciplinary projects have been presented at festivals, artist-run spaces, and on city streets across the U.S. and Japan. At home in Chicago, she teaches creative writing to immigrants at Truman College and works as a Poet in Residence for the public schools.

Michael Leong’s poetry career began in the sixth grade when he won his first and only poetry prize in Mr. Harrison’s class for a haiku about a snake. Since then, he has received degrees in English and Creative Writing from Dartmouth College, Sarah Lawrence College, and Rutgers University and has published poems and translations in journals such as Action Yes, Bird Dog, Double Room, jubilat, Marginalia, Opium Magazine, Pindeldyboz, and Tin House. He is the author of I, the Worst of All (blazeVOX [books], 2009), a translation of the Chilean poet Estela Lamat, and e.s.p. (Silenced Press, 2009). He currently lives in New York City.
ESTELA LAMAT was born at the age of eight in the backyard of the house. She has conducted meticulous nocturnal studies of sleeplessness, of stellar chances and causalities. Tamer of cats, enologist by nose, left-handed, and epileptic, she has never been in a workshop; she has never entered any contests; nor has she won any literary awards.
