Elizabeth S. Wolf has published 6 books, including the recently released Parenting in the Age of Columbine (2025). Her Did You Know? was a 2018 Rattle Chapbook Prize winner. Rattle Summer 2022 featured her project with Prisoner Express. In 2023, Elizabeth taped readings at the White House, Supreme Court, and US Capitol with The Scheherazade Project. Her work has landed on the moon with the Lunar Codex.

The Famous Joanne Jackson from Hampton is a very small (only 5’4”) At-Large Board Member for The Poetry Society of New Hampshire and <wait for it> the eventual host of The Poetry Show (on the radio) every TBD on WSCA-FM 106.1 or streaming at WSCAFM.org. Joanne writes with you – the audience – in mind, and has seriously been called . . . entertaining.
