Melissa Eleftherion and Kirk Lua
After a three-month hiatus, Eulachon is back with two traveling poets!
Melissa Eleftherion was born & raised in Brooklyn. A high school dropout, she went on to earn an MFA in Poetry from Mills College and an MLIS from San Jose State University.
She is the author of huminsect, prism maps, Pigtail Duty, the leaves the leaves, green glass asterisms, and several other chapbooks. Her first full-length collection, field guide to autobiography, was recently published by H_NGM_N Books. Founder of the Poetry Center Chapbook Exchange, Melissa lives in Mendocino County where she works as a Teen Librarian, teaches creative writing, serves on the Poet Laureate Committee, & curates the LOBA Reading Series at the Ukiah Library. More of her work can be found @ www.apoetlibrarian.wordpress.com.
Kirk Alvaro Lua’s work has appeared in The Acentos Review, A Sharp Piece of Awesome Literary Magazine, Pilgrimage Press, and Toyon Literary Magazine. He is from Madera, the Heart of California. He attended Humboldt State University where he earned a BA in Writing and a Spanish minor. He is of Mexican descent and was raised immersed in the culture. He would like to thank Barbara Brinson Curiel for guidance and friendship. His first teachers of poetry were his parents. His mother taught him how to write and his father taught him how to say fuck it.
