Scum Drop | My pseudonym goes by Scumdrop or Dobbi Wasabi. I identify as non-binary (they/them), Native American (Cherokee/Blackfoot), Irish, and twenty-something: identities known for not holding their tongue. I was born and raised in several indeterminate and inconsequential towns in Iowa and Minnesota briefly. As a poet, I aim to bring kaleidoscopic imagery to the page and lace it with direct absurdity and sarcasm, mainly formed in free-verse or other nontraditional poetic structures. Please enjoy, or don’t. I will not tell the reader how to feel, but my poems sure will!

Cindy Uriostegui | I’m a Mexican-American Artist. A lot of my work is reflective of my roots and identity. It’s through the exploration of identity, adaptability, and the effects of the environment on a subject we become more aware of the core spaces in ourselves.
