Don McIver
Don McIver explores his impressions and experiences of Albuquerque, New Mexico in his latest collection of poems and stories, HERE.
Far from a romanticized homage, Here is an unflinching poetic appreciation of his adopted home city. From back-of-the-house food service work, to navigating the perilous Duke City streets as a bicyclist, McIver's sharp eye and empathetic heart informs every line.
Trier Ward
Trier Ward is the author of three full-lengthy poetry collections.
Her style is hard-edged and confessional; her poetry is inspiring and carries with it life-earned lessons and experiences that burn and glow and shine through the darkness.
Ward captivates audiences from coast to coast with her live performances.
The poet believes artists are in a unique position to advocate for peace and political non-violence and should take this duty seriously.
When not writing or promoting her writing, Trier spends her spare time volunteering at Wildlife Rescue of New Mexico.
