Poet Laureate of Kansas (2017-2019), Kevin Rabas teaches at Emporia State University, where he leads the poetry and playwriting tracks.

Rabas is the winner of the Langston Hughes Award for Poetry, the Victor Contoski Poetry Award, the Jerome Johanning Playwriting Award, and the Salina New Voice Award.

Linzi Garcia can be found frolicking through fields, cemeteries, bookstores, and bars across the states. Her full-length poetry collection, Thank You, was published in 2018 by Spartan Press, and her chapbook about studying abroad in London, Live a Great Story (co-written with Jase Buck), was published by Analog Submission Press (2019). While getting her MA in English at Emporia State University, Linzi worked as the graduate assistant to Poet Laureate Emeritus of Kansas Kevin Rabas and as an editorial assistant with Bluestem Press and Flint Hills Review. Linzi now serves as the publicist at Meadowlark Press and the poetry editor for its imprint, Meadowlark Poetry Press.
