James Coghill
Following the quiet release of his first pamphlet ‘Anteater’ in 2018, James Coghill has been published in a number of places including Blackbox Manifold, Datableed, Pamenar, Shearsman, Tentacular and The Hythe, as well as in a number of anthologies from Sidekick Books. His preoccupations include flora, fungi, and fauna, as well as medieval and renaissance literature. He is currently working on a pamphlet about the Brecklands area of East Anglia and another about various species of fungi. He is largely happy to be out of hibernation again.

James Davies
James Davies is the author of a number of poetry collections, most recently ‘stack’ and ‘it is like toys but also like video taped in a mall’. ‘stack’ is a set of 900+ single-line poems, which document alternative walking practice and can be combined together variously to make longer poems. ‘it is like toys but also like video taped in a mall’ is a selection of 201 poems that come in pairs of minimalist lines, many of which have been made into artists’ books or poetry sculptures, which explore beauty and horror. He is also the author of a few short stories and novels including the Oulipian psychedelic romantic comedy ‘When Two Are In Love’ or ‘As I Came To Behind Frank’s Transporter’, written in collaboration with Philip Terry. For a number of years he was one of the co-organisers of The Other Room reading series in Manchester and has edited his experimental poetry press ‘if p then q’ since 2008.

Fran Lock
Fran Lock is the author of thirteen poetry collections, most recently ‘Hyena!’ (Poetry Bus Press, 2023), inexplicably shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize 2023, and 'a disgusting lie: further adventures through the neoliberal hell-mouth’ (Pamenar Press, 2023). Fran was the Judith E. Wilson Poetry Fellow at Cambridge University (2022-23). ‘Vulgar Errors/ Feral Subjects’, a collection of essays based on her work at Cambridge, was published by Out-Spoken Press last year. Fran is a Commissioning Editor at the radical arts and culture cooperative Culture Matters; she edits the Soul Food column for Communist Review. She lives between Cambridgeshire and Kent. She hates the Tories.
​
Nicol Parkinson
Nicol Parkinson is an artist and researcher working with sound in the fields of music, live art and performance seeking out the connections and confusions between these forms. They are slowly building a vocabulary of material approaches, both visible and obscured, embracing flexibility of form, in an effort to avoid settled definition.
