ABOUT OUR FEATURED READERS:
CATHRYN COFELL is the author of six poetry chapbooks and two full-length collections including Stick Figure with Skirt, winner of the Main Street Rag Poetry Book Award. She’s been published 300+ times and earned over 50 awards for her work, including the Lorine Niedecker Poetry Award, the Mill Prize, and the Christopher Lathom Sholes Award for mentoring other poets. She is the city of Appleton’s first Poet Laureate, co-coordinator of Poetry Unlocked, and the Immediate Past President of the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets. www.cathryncofell.com
Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI—a city that shaped his story with both pain and hope—ANTHONY D. MILLER JR. is a spoken word artist whose work is meant to be experienced, not just heard. His art is real, raw, and emotional, often rooted in the wounds of being a motherless child, the fight to beat the odds, the ache of heartbreak, and the resilience of love. Through his performances, Anthony invites audiences to see him not just as an artist, but as a person—unafraid to reveal both scars and strength. His stories live beyond the page, pulsing with honest emotion and forging deep connections. Anthony’s voice is a testament to the power of turning pain into poetry, and hope into action.
