Gordon Shoemaker is a writer, filmmaker, and professional tall person from a lovely farm in Malvern, Pennsylvania. A graduate of the USC School of Cinematic Arts, he currently lives in New York City where he works as an Assistant Director, 1st AC, and Gaffer on a myriad of local sets. He is available for hire, either as a crew-member, or to personally reach things for you on very high shelves. His first independent short film, "Lara," will be premiering at the Garden State Film Festival in March 2018, and he is absolutely thrilled to be a part of this year's Visible Poetry Project!

Elaine Equi is the author of many books, including Ripple Effect: New & Selected Poems, Click and Clone, and most recently, Sentences and Rain. All are published by Coffee House Press.
