David Hutchinson David Hutchinson is a poet and artist from San Francisco, California. David uses words, letters, and sentences to make remarkable linguistic sculptures inspired equally by history and etymology. Both crystalline and personal, David’s work leads us into a place of mysterious and irresistible delight. "Having arrived at the craft later in life, David Hutchinson feels compelled to keep on writing. Growing up in the suburbs of a town in Southern California declared the smoggiest in the country, he now enjoys considering his work wandering the milder climes of San Francisco, a respiring of a different sort. David has also authored a collection of short stories and is working on his second novel. Poetry remains more often than not.” Daniel Farnan Daniel Farnan is a poet and artist from San Francisco, California. His poems are inventive, poignant, and mischievous. A San Francisco Art Institute alumnus with a professional background in Information Visualization and Spatial Data Analysis, he has been developing bodies of practice including stream-of-consciousness poems for over 30 years. Dealing with subjects both concrete and abstract, Daniel weaves diverse threads together into his own lyrical and inimitable style.
