Amiro Mo doesn’t know how to spell his real last name. He loves donuts, thin-cut fries, and existential conversations with strangers. He experiments with film as feeling, curious less about our differences than about the ways we are the same and enchanted with the world as it is but even more so with the world as it could be. Born and raised in Los Angeles, he is currently pursuing an MFA in writing and directing at NYU Tisch.

Bill Neumire's first book, Estrus, was a finalist for the 42 Miles Press Award. His poems have appeared in the Harvard Review Online, Beloit Poetry Journal, and The Awl. He teaches high school literature and lives in Syracuse, New York with his family.
