Jonas Lucafont
We don't know too much about Jonas. We don't know where he lives, what he does, or when he is doing it. He sent us this incredibly short bio and we haven't changed one word of it: "Jonas is seventeen; a fresh and nascent high school graduate. he converses with ghosts, but mostly just listens. he is a faker and don't believe a word he says." But he does have a website where some of his poems live.

Romanlily
Grace is an advertising designer and photographer living in Atlanta who goes by the name romanlily on the nets. She loves taking pictures with a digital camera, but misses the zen-like process of working on photos in the darkroom. She has a soft spot for waltzing, poetry, and big silly dogs. As soon as she and her husband get the fence in the backyard fixed, they are going to adopt a big silly dog of their own. Her personal site can be found here and she maintains a cool photoblog here. You can view more of her photographs by visiting her flickr photostream.
