David P. Kozinski’s poems have appeared in 40 literary publications, most recently in One Art: a journal of poetry and the Bay to Ocean Journal, which gave him his fourth Pushcart Prize nomination. His poetry collections include “I Hear It the Way I Want It to Be,” which was a finalist for the Inlandia Institute’s Hillary Gravendyke Prize, and “Tripping Over Memorial Day” (both Kelsay Books). His chapbook, “Loopholes” (Broadkill Press) won the Dogfish Head Poetry Prize. Kozinski is poet in residence at Rockwood Park & Museum, near Wilmington, DE. He has been a Delaware Division of the Arts poetry fellowship recipient and Expressive Path’s Mentor of the Year.

She holds an MFA in creative writing from Queens University of Charlotte, an MA in liberal studies from Villanova University, and a BA in English from Gettysburg College. Abbey works in communications and lives in Cheltenham, Pa., with her two beloved dogs—who help her remember to smile, particularly during these challenging times.
