He co-edits the project’s zine publication: Ki Li Ha’Aretz (for the land is Mine). Currently a graduate student at a seminary in Berkeley, CA, Hurst is a Presidential Scholar who will receive his Masters of Theological Studies as well as his Certificate in Sexuality and Religion.

Forthcoming: Bard, Kinetic, Coffee House, March 2022, and a new book from Penguin in summer of 2O22.
- Yarrow Woods is the name of a trans poet/artist/etc. and various kinds of laborer in Chicago. Her work asks what it is to feel always inadequate to better the material conditions we and our close ones are subject to? What is it to begin to change (one’s body, relationships, society, et al), when the tools we wield are the same instruments that we have been inflected with? Is it only a question of method? Constant rebuilding, crumbling, and reiterations of gestures and acts form together in yarrow’s work as an attempt to envision, create, and evaluate alternatives to these inherited, violent systems. Her first full-length Death and is forthcoming from Inside the Castle, 2023. A portion of her chapbook The Dick the Bitch and the Baby is forthcoming in Hype Train: @rlysrslit Anthology (Thirty West Publishing House). You can find her other books Drupe Fist and FEVER DREAM / FROM THE FIRE PIT through https://gumroad.com/yyeswoods.
