Dane Cervine lives in Santa Cruz, California, where he works as a therapist and writer. He graduated from the University of California at Santa Cruz with a BA in Religious Studies and the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco with a Masters in Integral Counseling Psychology. Through long association with the Emerald Street Writers and Poetry Santa Cruz, Cervine has nurtured, and been nurtured by, a lively literary scene in the Monterey Bay and Greater San Francisco Bay Region. Cervine’s poems have won awards from Adrienne Rich, Tony Hoagland, Atlanta Review, and Caesura, and have been nominated for multiple Pushcarts. His work has appeared in The Sun Magazine, The Hudson Review, Poetry Flash, Catamaran, Miramar, Rattle, Sycamore Review, and Pedestal Magazine, as well as in many anthologies. This is his second book of prose poems with Sixteen Rivers Press.
Lenore Myers was born to artist parents who tried to live as semi-bohemians in the suburbs. When that fell apart, the author spent her childhood and youth moving between different towns in Northern California. After spending more years moving around the United States and abroad, she returned to the greater Bay Area to be near family while raising her son. Her chapbook, Regards to Balthus, was published by Seven Kitchens Press in 2023. Her poems and essays appear in a variety of literary journals.
Sixteen Rivers Press is a shared-work, nonprofit poetry collective dedicated to providing an alternative publishing avenue for Northern California poets. Founded in 1999 by seven writers, the press is named for the sixteen rivers that flow into San Francisco Bay.
