Clare ChaiPoetry Contributor
Clare Chai is a writer who lives and breathes Hong Kong, and hopes to write about it in all its contradicting complexity and also about her personal experiences in the city. She has a day job and is only a poet by night, so please excuse her if her work is sometimes a bit dark (though she loves to let the light in too). She is interested in identity, culture and the ephemeral nature of things.

Shannon Elizabeth Gardner is a graduate from the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point with a Bachelors in Studio Art and a Minor in Art History. Her interest in horror and the macabre came about while exploring nature and the paranormal. The work explores the natural and organic process of death, evoking empathy for decay. She believes life is beautiful when left to fate and by leaving art to chance, it assists the viewer to witness beauty hidden within imperfections. Her process appreciates nature’s process and discovers the earth’s imperfect beauty. The ethereal mood of her work reaches the extreme and addresses the taboo.
