Charlotte Seley
Charlotte is a very large person trapped in a petite person's body. Charlotte has mad love for her hometown, the Hudson Valley, and anything New York related (yes, the entire state, no, not just the city). Charlotte does poetry because she's too clumsy to be a surgeon. Charlotte does not know how to be quiet. Charlotte's favorite knickknacks are useless kitchen "tools" and elephant figurines. Charlotte can be found in Providence, RI, tweeting about Taco Bell and Amanda Bynes at @charlottextina.
Caleb Tankersley
Caleb is a boy. Caleb has a penis. Caleb does writing and teaching and editing types of things. Caleb does not enjoy the feel of cotton swabs, the squeak of Styrofoam, or when people don’t verbally invite him to sit down in their homes or offices. Caleb's favorite knickknacks are his toy lion, an obsidian rock he pulled from the dirt in Ethiopia, a tiny pair of wooden shoes he found in a used book, and a single drumstick his old roommate left behind. Caleb can be found in a good number of literary magazines and on twitter as @midwestpenance.
