Christine McNair's work has appeared in cv2, Prairie Fire, ditchpoetry.com, Arc, the Bywords Quarterly Journal, Descant, and assorted other places. Her first collection of poems, Conflict, is forthcoming with BookThug in spring 2012.

She launches her new chapbook, Notes From A Cartywheel (AngelHousePress, 2011).
Bardia Sinaee lives, writes, erodes and calcifies in Ottawa, Ontario. The unlikely story of his stint as a penalty-killing specialist for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League has been optioned for a film by Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
