Peter Krok has been Editor-in-Chief of the Schuylkill Valley Journal since 2001. Because of his identification with row house-red brick Philadelphia, he’s often referred to as “the red brick poet.” He’s been published in various journals. His book, Looking for An Eye, was published in 2008 and Wounded World in 2020. He is the founder of the MRAC Poetry Critique Circle.

Steve Delia has been writing poetry for 49 years. He has met wonderful poets and made many friends. He has enjoyed being in critique groups, attending the Philadelphia Writers Conference and helping to coordinate the Mad Poets Society’s annual fall festival and the Thrivin’ Thursday poetry group. He is honored to be part of such a rich poetry community.  

Cleveland Wall is a poet, collage artist, and sole librarian at Books on the Hill, a mighty twig of the Bethlehem Area Public Library. She is the author of Let X=X and many small, handmade chapbooks. She regularly performs with the interactive poetry group No River Twice.
