KJ Hannah Greenberg uses her trusty point-and-shoot camera to capture the order of G-d's universe, and Paint 3D to capture her personal chaos.

The Rent Was Cheap
Gareth Vieira is a Canadian writer, poet, journalist, and collage artist. A graduate of Humber’s Print Journalism program, he has written for Niagara This Week, Turtle Island News, and Port Hope Now, and founded Dispatches from a Small Town, a project devoted to telling the extraordinary stories of everyday people in Port Hope, Cobourg, and surrounding communities.
Much of his fiction emerges from the edges of things: city streets, small towns, hospital rooms, late-night bars. He is drawn to characters who feel restless or out of place, carrying both beauty and ruin. His stories circle around connection and absence, those fleeting moments that don’t last but leave a mark. He writes to catch life in its rawest, grittiest form, without smoothing it over—just the pulse of it, the way it really feels when you’re in it.
Alongside his fiction, Gareth creates typewriter-based poetry under @street_verses.
Brain Sweater
Andie Z Chen lives in Shenzhen and lives alone. She creates illustrations, writes poetry and fictions. She chose painting and writing as her way of creating because she is lazy, doesn't like physical labor, and isn’t good at teamwork. She holds an MFA in Experimental Arts and Documentary Studies from Duke University. It wasn’t until she was in graduate school, that she realized she is good at writing and painting—What she had previously pursued turned out to be an illusion. It sounds like she was a failure. Her flash fiction "My First Drawing" was published by Vine Leaves Press in "50 Give or Take". She filmed a video essay in the format of her personal diary for an episode of the commercial documentary series Thirty Three Stories. Looking back now, she thinks what a terrible script she wrote then.
