Tammy Armstrong is a Fredericton-based poet whose first collection of poetry, Bogman?s Music, gave her the distinction of being the youngest poet ever short-listed for the Governor General?s Award. Goose Lane Editions has just published her latest collection of poetry, Take us Quietly, which further explores some of the author?s favorite subjects including growing up in rural New Brunswick, travels in Europe, Mexico, and Central America, and the accommodations of love in a long-term relationship.

Actor, director, playwright, and editor, Robert Moore is currently the Chair of the Department of Humanities and Languages at UNB Saint John. His first collection of poetry, So Rarely in Our Skins (2002) was short-listed for The Atlantic Poetry Prize and The Margaret and John Savage First Book Award.
