Faith Arkorful is the author of The Seventh Town of Ghosts, out now on McClelland & Stewart (an imprint of Penguin Random House Canada). Her work has appeared in GUTS Magazine, Peach Mag, PRISM International, Hobart Pulp, and Canthius Magazine, amongst other places. In 2022 she was a semi-finalist in the 92Y Discovery Poetry Contest and in 2019 was shortlisted for the CBC Poetry Prize. Faith was born in Toronto, where she still resides.


Bashar Lulu Jabbour is an immigrant poet! He uses the simple day-to-day details to give a glimpse of the complexities of leaving one home for another. Bashar is a storyteller, and his stories are deeply personal. His poetry has been featured at many festivals across Canada including Canadian Festival of Spoken Word, Naked Heart, Latitudes Storytelling Festival, and Word on the Street, and he was an opening act for Carlos Andres Gomez. He was the artistic director of KW Poetry Slam and poetry editor at Textile Magazine.
