Nathaniel Hunt doesn't need your sympathy. He's doing okay.
He's recently become an upwardly-mobile peasant through a combination of tutoring
and freelance writing. He's had poems published, as one does, but finds it
difficult to care about that most days. His hobbies include hating poetry and
writing poetry.
Ben Hurst is a first-year MFA student at the University of
Massachusetts Boston. He grew up on a tobacco farm in south Georgia, though he
hasn't come to terms with whether he's a "Southern Poet." In the past
few years, he has participated in a drinking contest with a Chinese university
dean (it didn't end well), seen a hysterectomy in person (it went...okay), and
driven up the coast of Malibu with his beautiful wife (as fantastic as it
sounds). He's currently finishing up a chapbook titled Bird
Impersonations, and he can
easily bore you with bird facts on a long car ride.

Room of Boston. He is originally from Traverse City, Michigan.
