SARA MCGUIRK currently acts as the Iowa Youth Writing Project Fellow and teaches at The University of Iowa Magid Center for Undergraduate Writing. She holds an MFA in poetry from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and a BA in English and Film Studies from the University of Notre Dame. She was the winner of the 2017 Phyllis Smart-Young Prize in poetry and a finalist for the 2017 Madeleine P. Plonsker Emerging Writer’s Prize in poetry.

AUGUST STOLBA is a highly motivated college graduate with a degree in Design Ecology, possessing in depth knowledge of permaculture and sustainability practices in areas ranging from conservation and renewables to large scale organic farming. He’s looking for an entry-level position in architecture, urban planning, urban agriculture, or conservation education… but, also, he writes some pretty sweet performance poetry.
