Mandy Gutmann-González is a Chilean poet and novelist working at the intersections
of text, performance, archive, and translation. A CantoMundo and MacDowell fellow,
they are the author of the forthcoming poetry collections O/CCULT (Omnidawn) and

the novel La Pava (Ediciones Inubicalistas). They teach creative writing at Clark
University.
K. T. Landon’s debut collection, Abide, was selected by Kim Addonizio as the winner of
the 2025 Richard Snyder Memorial Poetry Prize and was published by Ashland Poetry
Press in September. Her poems have appeared in The Southern Review, The Sun, New
Ohio Review, Nimrod, North American Review, Narrative, and Best New Poets, among
others. Her work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net, and
she is a reader for Lily Poetry Review. She received her MFA from Vermont College of
Fine Arts.
Janet MacFadyen is the author of four full-length collections—most recently Love
Letters to the Wild (Dos Madres, 2025) and State of Grass (Salmon Poetry,
2024)—and four chapbooks, including two photo-poetry collaborations with the
photographer Stephen Schmidt. Honors include a Massachusetts Cultural Council
grant, a Cill Rialaig residency, and a 7-month Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center
fellowship. Her poems appear widely, most recently in SWIMM, Slant, Osiris, Dark
Matter: Women Witnessing, The Tiny Seed, and Scientific American. She has been
nominated for the Best of the Net, Pushcart, and Forward prizes, and is the managing
editor of Slate Roof Press, a member-run chapbook publisher. In another life she was a
rock hound and worked for a meteorological instrument manufacturer.
