Bellamy's writing has appeared in, among others, the anthologies Pills, Thrills, Chills and Heartache, Best American Erotica 2001, High Risk, The New Fuck You, and Big Book of Erotic Ghost Stories. Her essays and book reviews have appeared in the Chicago Review, the Village Voice, the San Francisco Chronicle, Bookforum, Out/Look, the San Diego Reader, and Nest. Bellamy has won the San Francisco Bay Guardian Goldie Award for Literature, has served as director of the seminal San Francisco writing lab, Small Press Traffic, and currently is an associate faculty member in the MFA program at Antioch Los Angeles and a lecturer in the Creative Writing Department of San Francisco State University. Adam BOEHMER's poetry has appeared in Spork, Gertrude, Off the Rocks, and the anthology The Full Spectrum: A New Generation of Writing About Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Other Identities by Knopf Press. In 2008, Adam co-curated the Works-In-Progress series with poet Megan Levad in effort to bridge the gap between the University of Michigan's academic writer's series and the grassroots poetry scene in Ann Arbor, MI. In 2009, he set out to tour the US for a year in a refurbished 1970's travel-trailer, making a living selling art, teaching dance and flipping vintage furniture. The resulting poetry from that trip as well as his subsequent 8-month residency in San Francisco became Oh Selfish City, which was performed at Treehouse Gallery in October 2010, and White Wood which was recently named a finalist for the Eli Coppola prize.He has collaborated with New York City installation artist Amanda C. Mathis on previous gallery openings, and his poem Current was used as the libretto for an avant-garde piano piece by Seattle composer Glenn Crytzer. Adam currently resides in Seattle, WA where he teaches Vintage Jazz Dance, wears a lot of light-brown leather, and paints things either turquoise or teal. Tom COMITTA is from Philadelphia. For two years he has lived in San Francisco where he co-founded and conducts SF Guerrilla Opera. His work has appeared in literary publications, twitter, art galleries, conversations, shiterature, art journals, bathroom stalls, and youtube. Check out his latest project: a word processor/cyborg sound poet called soUNDtext (sounds like "sound und text"): soundundtext.wordpress.com Anna Martine WHITEHEAD uses videos, puppets, movement and sound to talk through, around and about our memories. Recently relocated from the East Coast to L.A. via Oakland, and having presented work in galleries and bars from Goteborg, Sweden to the Bronx Museum in New York, Martine is eager to stir up trouble in their new locale. Their collaborative work with Goldie Award-winning Jesse Hewit/Strong Behavior, the National Park Service and We Players, and Violeta Luna and Guillermo Gomez-Peña has been noted in the San Francisco Chronicle, the New York Times, and LA Weekly. They are honored to have been called back to their library-nerd roots for RADAR.
