Timothy Liu (Liu Ti Mo) was born in 1965 in San Jose, California, to parents from the Chinese mainland. He studied at Brigham Young University, the University of Houston, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He is the author of Say Goodnight (Copper Canyon Press, 1998), which was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award; Burnt Offerings (1995); and Vox Angelica (1992), which won the Poetry Society of America’s Norma Farber First Book Award. He has also edited Word of Mouth: An Anthology of Gay American Poetry (Talisman House, 2000). His poems have been included in more than twenty anthologies and have appeared in such magazines and journals as Antioch Review, Denver Quarterly, Grand Street, Chelsea, Kenyon Review, New England Review, Paris Review, Ploughshares, Poetry, and TriQuarterly. He teaches at William Paterson University and lives in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Stacy Doris’ Kildare (Roof, 1995) makes poetry from electronic entertainments. Her Mop Factory Incident (Women’s Studio Workshop, 1996), designed and fabricated by artist Melissa Smedley, is a multi-lingual play-poem-comic-book on paper. She is also the author of La vie de Chester Steven Wiener écrite par sa femme (P.O.L., 1998), a biography of the world’s most perfect man, written in French. She has co-edited two journal anthologies of recent French poetry: Violence of the White Page (1991, Tyuonyi 9/10) with Emmanuel Hocquard, and 21 New (to America) French Poets (1997, Raddle Moon 16) with Norma Cole. She has been a Teaching-Writing Fellow at the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and the recipient of a Fund for Poetry Award. Her latest book of poems, Paramour, was published by Krupskaya Press in 2000. Conference is forthcoming from Potes and Poets Press. She teaches poetry at San Francisco State University.
