Tito Mukhopadhyay doesn’t exactly call himself a poet or define himself with a diagnosis. There is a lack of parallax between Tito’s outside environment and sensory window. Writing helps to keep the balance – his insides can spill out strong on the page. Of course he has a diagnosis of autism. When he writes, he likes to write as an equal. He wants to walk step by step, not over step, not out of step with the rest of the creative world which is different from the functioning world. Yes he can write poetry. Poetry happens out of his thoughts – like a stray strand of greenish blue light that hits a window after an evening shower to linger around before it turns dark. Tito likes villanelles because it feels important to be part of a rule. He wants people to understand what he is trying to write. What is the function of language anyway? Isn’t it to simplify the idea?

Adina Burke is an individual who doesn’t like talking about herself very much and instead insists on writing about herself. Born in 1990 with a sweet taste in her mouth for cynical and dry wit, such characteristics can be found in her work and overall demeanor. Much to her credit, she has found a way to make this seem incredibly endearing. She is the Author of Birds Eye and Wheelchairs, Whips and Bondage Tape. Her books can be found at: Moon Palace Books, Boneshaker Books, and SubText: A Bookstore among others.
