OUR READERS:

AIMEE HERMAN (she/they/her/them) is a Brooklyn-based queer writer and educator with two full length books of poems, meant to wake up feeling (great weather for MEDIA) and to go without blinking (BlazeVOX books) in addition to being widely published in journals and anthologies including BOMB, cream city review, and Troubling the Line: Trans and Genderqueer Poetry and Poetics (Nightboat Books). Aimee is a founding member alongside David Lawton in the poetry band Hydrogen Junkbox, and has a novel recently out, Everything Grows, published by Three Rooms Press. https://aimeeherman.wordpress.com

An interior designer and painter, PAMELA HULL wrote her first book Where’s My Bride? at age sixty. This venture was to be a one-time effort, a tribute to a remarkable man and marriage. However, as the endeavor unfurled, she unearthed a deep love for writing narrative.
Ms. Hull’s essays and poetry have been widely published in literary journals such as the Bellevue Literary Review, Ars Medica, Lumina, Blood and Thunder, and North Dakota Quarterly. Her recent book SAY YES! Flying Solo After Sixty explores how neither age nor being alone is an impediment to living a rich life, a significant work for men and women of all ages. In her current work Moments that Mattered, the author writes stories of ordinary experiences that were passed over or dismissed but in recall hold clues to lifetime behaviors, attitudes, choices.

JENNIFER WOLKIN is a health and neuro psychologist, speaker, mental health advocate, and mindfulness-meditation practitioner in NYC. She is currently pursuing her MFA in creative writing and literary translation at Queens College. She has been published or forthcoming in multiple literary journals. Her poem, “Show & Tell” was a finalist for the Bellevue Literary Review’s Marica and Jan Vilcek Prize for Poetry. Her poem, “Using Medical Jargon to Cycle Through Stages of Mourning in No Particular Order” was shortlisted for the annual Live Cannon International Poetry Prize.
Her nonfiction work translating and sharing the science of brain research and mindfulness has been published in Thrive Global, The Huffington Post, Mindful.org, PsychCentral, AboutMeditation, among others. They are compiled and can be found on her blog BrainCurves.com. She also has a nonfiction book about the neuroscience and practice of mindfulness forthcoming from New Harbinger.
She is most passionate about writing at the intersection where the mind, body, brain and spirit meet—about the holistic human experience—through her personal and professional lens. She seeks to humbly give voice to the voiceless, through words, and help heal both others and herself in the process.

DANIELLE OFRI, editor-in-chief of the BLR, will read “Bird Season” by Daniela Garvue, honorable mention winner in the BLR’s 2019 Goldenberg Prize for Fiction.
