Patrick Bocarde and Neil Anderson (photos by Gary Stallsworth)

Andrew MacArthur was an editor of the literary journal Ephemeris. His poems have appeared in Samsara Quarterly, Absinthe Literary Review, and Snow Monkey, among others.

Neil Anderson is the publisher of Venetian Blind Drunk, and is currently working on several novels. Patrick Bocarde has been told he needs to stop writing break up poems and get back to the monster poetry. Walking Home Weird was his last chapbook.

Neil and Patrick read from the recently released script of ‘The Worriers,“ about a Poetry gang stranded in North West Portland trying to get home to Powell’s bookstore, by way of Gresham, North East Alberta, Hawthorne, and Belmont, while …trying to survive taunting from the likes of the Third Eye Lyricists, the Deadbeats, the East Coast Poets in Residence, and the Unfurled Zippers. All while trying to set up a book contract.
