Who We Are

Kevin Hyde has operated the music blog Molars intermittently (and in different forms) since 2004. He received his MFA from the University of Florida. His work has been in Big Fiction, Parcel, Burnt Bridge, on the McSweeney’s website, etc. He recently drove cross-country to California and, against his better judgment, eventually returned to Pennsylvania, where he lives. 

Anthony Luebbert has published Monkfish Jowls, a tumblr of lit and memoir, since 2009. He has an MFA from the University of Florida, where he worked on the literary journal Subtropics. Since 2010 he’s been on staff of Asymptote, an international literary journal. His stories have been in Asymptote, New York Tyrant, Parcel and others. He owns a ball python, likes cabbage, streams all his music, needs a “real job”, likes you, lived in Singapore, is beardless, not balding, heartbroken, housebroken, not on a boat, but would like very much to be on a boat.
