K.I. Press is a Winnipeg poet originally from northern Alberta. She took her Masters in English at the University of Ottawa. Her third book, Types of Canadian Women, is being published in September 2006. Her second book, Spine, was shortlisted for the Pat Lowther Memorial Award. She works for the Winnipeg Folk Festival.

Anne Le Dressay grew up in rural Manitoba, first on a farm near Virden, then on an acreage outside Lorette. She's been published sporadically since the 1970s, and is the author of one book, Sleep Is a Country (Harbinger/Carleton University Press, 1997), and two chapbooks, This Body That I Live In (Turnstone Press, 1979) and Woman Dreams (above/ground press, 1998). She first moved to Ottawa to do her M.A. at Carleton, then her Ph.D. at the University of Ottawa, returning in 1999 to become a civil servant. New work is soon to appear in a ten poet anthology with new Ottawa publisher Chaudiere Books in November 2006.
