Green <http://english.colum.edu/courtgreen/> and The Georgia

She is currently revising her first novel, *Borrowed Horses*, which retells
the story of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre (with some twists) set in
contemporary Idaho.

Heather Matesich Cousins is a PhD student from Michigan. Her poetry has been
published in La Petite Zine <http://www.lapetitezine.org/>, Staccato, and
the Dunes Review <http://www.michwriters.org/publications.asp>. She is a
graduate of Bryn Mawr College and the Johns Hopkins Writing Seminars. She
has recently sent out into the world her first manuscript, *Something in the
Potato Room*. She sent it out in its best shoes and with change for the bus
and pay phone. She's not sure whether--or how--it will come back to her.

Andy Frazee is a PhD student in English and Creative Writing at the
University of Georgia and holds an MFA from the University of Illinois. His
poetry has appeared or is forthcoming in 1913: a journal of
forms<http://www.journal1913.org/>,
Faultline <http://www.humanities.uci.edu/faultline/>,
Rhino<http://www.rhinopoetry.org/>,
and The Sycamore Review <http://sycamorereview.com/>, and has also been
nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

At any given moment, Matt Forsythe would rather be deep in the Appalachians
or Rockies. Right now, he's midway though his third year in the PhD program
at UGA, and his hiking takes place while daydreaming over stacks of grading
at Borders. Prior to his arrival in Athens, Matt studied at the University
of Tennessee and Calvin College.

A student in the Creative Writing Program at UGA, Jeff Newberry is an
Assistant Professor of English at Abraham Baldwin College in Tifton,
Gerogia. His poems and essays have appeared in
storySouth<http://www.storysouth.com/>,
Copper Nickel <http://www.copper-nickel.org/>, and The Eleventh
Muse<http://www.poetrywest.org/muse.htm>.
Upcoming work will appear in The Cortland
Review<http://www.cortlandreview.com/>and Barn
Owl Review <http://www.barnowlreview.com/>. Find his blog at

Best,
Jeff Newberry
