Laura DiCaronimo is a poet and optician from North Central Massachusetts. She was selected as the first recipient of the annual Dan Lewis Poetry Fellowship by the Worcester County Poetry Association in 2023, and hosts and curates The Openest Mic open mic series. Her debut chapbook Winner for Trying was released by Metaphysical Fox Press in 2025.
Brian Mosher is a poet and writer residing in Mansfield, Massachusetts. His work has appeared in Blue Villa, Nixes Mate, eMerge, Books and Pieces, Confetti, Rituals, Coneflower Cafe, Written Tales, Esoterica Magazine, Half and One Magazine, and others. He has self-published three books: One Bad Day Deserves Another (short stories) and Moon Shine and Lemon Twists (poetry), both in 2016; and The Broken Mosaic (poetry and prose) in 2021. His poetry chapbook Dreams and Other Magic (2023) was published by Alien Buddha Press. His unpublished short-story manuscript was short-listed for the Unleash Press 2025 Book Prize. Brian’s most recent release is a collection of poems and song lyrics from Metaphysical Fox Press titled A Muster of Melodious Musings (2025).
Fadi Yousef was born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1977 and immigrated to the States in 1983 at the age of six with his family. He currently resides in Worcester, Massachusetts, and works for Worcester Public Schools as an Instructional Assistant. He attended Worcester State University from 1995-2000 and graduated with a degree in English Literature. He enjoys the liberating solace of a writing style he has coined as “Romantic Existentialism”. Fadi has a ravenous appetite for reading as much poetry as he can in all its forms. Some influences include Pablo Neruda and Wallace Stevens, as well as Gibran Khalil Gibran. He views writing as a tool to look behind the curtain of the world’s stage. Flowers for the Dying Moon released by Pegasus Publishers is Fadi Yousef's second collection of poetry (his first was The Homeless Gentleman with Fulton Press).
