Open Mic Readers:

Jan Garden Castro has accidental sonnets in current issues of The Cafe Review and River Styx. Google her for flammable letterpress poems for $5! She has never spoken or used the word devil. But she sees the Devil on TV—a shape-shifting orange face yelling lies about immigrants eating peoples’ pets, telling Vladimir Putin he can have Ukraine, and turning Gaza into a golf and beach resort for billionaires.
Nicholas Raphaelson is an aspiring sci-fi novelist living in Queens. He’s a professional PDF compiler working on a Disney animation show, currently reading James Gleick and Terry Pratchett.
Mickey Revenaugh A writer who lives in dualities—MFA and MBA, fiction and non-fiction, charter school and women’s indie press—Mickey Revenaugh is currently at work on a book about the unconventional education options American families are gravitating towards. Her current visual of the Devil is a sneering orange-skinned destroyer unleashing every demon in the land.
Amy Grech has sold over 100 short stories to various anthologies and magazines. Alien Buddha Press published her poetry chapbook, A Shadow of Your Former Self. Her website is crimsonscreams.com.
