FEATURING JESSIE MCWILLIAM!

Jessie McWilliam is actually 12 acorns inside a hat. Her poems cut apples into eighths without even moving. She teaches bones to boneyards and skin to leopards. Everyone who knows her knows how the first polar bear to leave the arctic became a mascot for Coca Cola, because she will not shut up about it. In her free time, Jessie throws frisbees, video tapes them, and sends the recordings to the FBI as UFO sightings. She has been abducted by aliens only onc, but she still misses the view.

FEATURING ERIC FISCHMAN!

Eric Raanan Fischman is a can of sliced peaches in full syrup with coconut creme. He once plucked a leaf out of the sky for an ex-girlfriend who yelled at him for disturbing the tree’s delicate ecosystem (that’s true). At night he sleeps on a bed of comic books and dreams of retractable quills and teleporting to tropical volcanos. His body is half cannabis, half “Avatar: The Legend of Korra.” Rye bread chips are the best chips. Pineapple belongs on pizza. Aliens definitely exist and know about humans but mostly they avoid us. Wouldn’t you?
