Imani Elizabeth Jackson is a poet from Chicago. She is the author of Flag and the chapbooks Context for arboreal exchanges and saltsitting. Among her awards are a 2023 NEA Creative Writing Fellowship and Futurepoem’s 2020 Other Futures Award.

Emily Simon’s first book, In Many Ways, is a lyrical, timely experiment in prose fragments, a log of pandemic life, and a meditation on selfhood, memory, and language. She published the chapbook Reign is Over, and her work appears in Brazenhead Review, The Quarterless Review, The Florida Review, Salt Hill, and elsewhere.
