He is currently a fellow at the Newberry Library in Chicago where he is working on a book of trans ghost stories told through object encounters in the archives.
Noa Micaela Fields is an echodeviant* in search of transversal wildness in her one and only captionless life. She is the author of E, forthcoming from Nightboat Books, and the chapbook With (Ghost City Press).
You can find more of her poems and art writing in Tripwire, Anomaly, Poem of the Day, Zoeglossia, Elderly, Tyger Quarterly, Emergency Index, and Sixty Inches From Center.

Riley Yaxley is a shameless navel gazer. A notorious backtracker. An essayist who believes in saying what you mean and then deciding you mean something else entirely.
Her work has appeared in Catapult, Sixty Inches from Center, Chicago Gallery News, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s journal of arts administration & policy. She is currently an editor for Sixty Inches from Center.
The middle child of seven, Riley was born and raised in a Detroit suburb and currently lives in Chicago on the stolen land of the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa peoples. She earned her BA and MA in Writing, Rhetoric and Discourse from DePaul University.
