S.A. Griffin: http://outlawpoetry.com/category/sa-griffin/ S.A. Griffin lives, loves and works in Los Angeles. He is a left handed lefty from the left coast. He drives too fast, sleeps too little and thinks too much. His heart is a wheel that breaks for cubist impulse. He believes that God is a left handed cheeseburger that paints mustaches on the moon while the sun cries Mary. Married to a wonderful librarian from New Jersey, proud father of a son who says hello to the world with his wild guitar, and owned by three spinster cats, his life has been the journey of the book less travelled by, which really has made all the difference.
Rich Ferguson: http://richrant.com Rich Ferguson has shared the stage with Patti Smith, Exene Cervenka, Loudon Wainwright, T.C. Boyle, Bob Holman, and many other esteemed writers and musicians. He has performed at the Redcat Theater, the NYC International Fringe Festival, the Bowery Poetry Club, and Stephen Elliott’s “Rumpus.” Ferguson is also a featured performer in the film, What About Me? (the sequel to the double Grammy-nominated film 1 Giant Leap), featuring Michael Stipe, Michael Franti, k.d. lang, Krishna Das, and others.
