Ange Mlinko is the author of seven books of poetry, most recently Foxglovewise, which was shortlisted for the 2026 Griffin Poetry Prize, and a book of lyric criticism, Difficult Ornaments: Florida and the Poets. She is a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books and The London Review of Books, and has received the Randall Jarrell Award in Criticism as well as the Frederick Bock Prize from the Poetry Foundation, a Guggenheim Fellowship, as well as residencies at Hawthornden Castle and elsewhere. She teaches poetry at the University of Florida, where she directs the MFA program.
Multimedia artist and elucidator Nástio Mosquito is known for performances, videos, music, and poetry that show an intense commitment to the open-ended potential of language. Easily misread as a kind of world weariness, it is the extraordinary expression of an urgent desire to engage with reality at all levels.
