Gail Mitchell has her MFA in Poetry from Drew University and her M.A. in T.E.S.O.L. from West Chester University.  She received her B.A. from Trenton State College and taught in Delaware and New Jersey public schools until she retired. Her first book of poetry was "Learning English the Cultural Way." "Makers & Keepers" is her second book of poems, which is available for purchase on the West Windsor Arts Center website. Gail is a master quilter, whose quilts have been exhibited at the University of Illinois at Chicago, the Newark Museum, New Jersey State Museum, Brookdale Community College, the Paul Robeson Center at Rutgers, Newark, and more recently, at Ellarslie, the City Museum of Trenton. She was interviewed on Ebru TV about her quiltmaking. She is a native of New Jersey and considers herself a Jersey Girl of Color. Gail lives in Hamilton with her husband.

Coleen Marks has explored many forms of art and writing. Her latest book, "Twin Passions," pairs two of those explorations. She is a graduate of Rutgers University, where she greatly benefited from her study of poetry with Alicia Ostriker. Also falling in love with photography, she pursued many courses and workshops at the International Center of Photography, NYC, and grew into an award-winning photographer whose work is in several corporate and many private collections.
