My___on Mondays

Tiffany Eller is a poet, entertainer, and all-around creative. Her poetry explores themes of spirituality, love, and the complexities of being human. She values vulnerability and authenticity, advocating for everyone to find the freedom to Be. Her first publication, the Little Cuties coloring book, featured hand-drawn characters to encourage body positivity. Every project she finds herself poring over stems from the desire to create safe spaces for people to express themselves. Tiffany lives in Boise, Idaho, where she manages The Boise Bard Players, a nonprofit theatre company, and raises her daughter Henley. This week, she shares eight short poems.

Christy Claymore is a Boise-based writer, editor, and educator who enjoys running the foothills and adventuring with her kids. She has been published in the Cabin’s Writers in the Attic anthologies over the years, as well as other Treasure Valley publications. This week, she shares two poems and the opening of a novel in progress.

Simon Schabot is a 35 mm slide collector and (creative) writer. They've presented for Storyfort, The Backyard Artists, Realms, The Spill and Address Book. Their published work is forthcoming (they promise.) In the meantime, here are three of their essays on gardening.

This week, we have five new poems for children from Syd Bergeson, a creative writer and actor based in Boise, Idaho. Syd’s work explores nature and urban spaces.

Kelly Cox and Eric Mullis are a long-standing collaborative artist team who met on a ceramics field trip in high school in Madison, Wisconsin. Over decades of working together, they have produced work across five states and exhibited nationally and internationally. Their work investigates the dissonance between physical, digital, and psychic space, drawing on the mythologies of architecture, product display, and media spectacle. At the end of their residency at MING, Kelly and Eric met with Matt Bunk during a busy day at Artfort to talk trickery, collaboration, and appropriate responses to a chaotic world.
