We’re celebrating Bryon’s new poetry collections: Funeral Journey (The Quail Press) and Ruins, Ruminations, and Rituals (Anarcho Welfare), both published earlier this year.

Bryon Cherry is a poet, musician and shaman. Bryon Cherry exists outside of time so he can precipitate often broken reflections. Bryon Cherry has been published in Return to the Place of the Gathering Waters published by Vegetarian Alcoholic Press. Bryon Cherry is the author of a chapbook Funeral Journey (The Quail Press) and a full-length Ruins, Ruminations, and Rituals (Anarcho Welfare) both published in 2019. Bryon Cherry dwells in Milwaukee, WI.

Sam Pekarske was born / razed in Milwaukee and won’t shut up about it. Tends to a small graveyard of musical instruments and pours booze in cups and runs a few reading series on the side. Wrote Alms for the Bored (Vegetarian Alcoholic Press, 2018) and knows a lot about office furniture. No MFA, no PhD, no gods, no masters, xoxo.

Her published works are all I wanna do through pity milk press, Terror through Vegetarian Alcoholic Press, and most recently, Unicorn, Burning through Peapeachu Press.

Her narration work and poetry has been featured in the short films of Elena Velez and Martin Kaszubowski.
