Mary DeFoor is a graduating senior at the School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where she majors in creative writing. She loves working in poetry, playwriting, and short story. Next year she will be double majoring in creative writing and fine art at the University of Iowa and wants to become a publisher or editor. She hopes that everyone is staying safe and healthy, and not going too stir crazy as the world can’t handle a bunch of Jack Torrances right now.

Maya Stautberg is a senior at the School for the Creative and Performing Arts as a creative writing major. She enjoys expressing herself through practicing yoga and finds joy in exploring local and national parks. Observation of nature and humanity is often what inspires her most when writing. Maya will attend the University of Cincinnati in the upcoming fall and plans to study Health Sciences.
Lauren Castillo, Art Academy student, is best described as being a fist full of clay with teeth in it. The poet can be found haunting the cabinets above your sink waving around a cool stick they picked up off the ground. Lauren’s interests lie in the detonation of language and what happens when those pieces hit the dirt, and then are picked up and glued back together with spit and gum.
Launched by poets Mark Flanigan and Jim Palmarini in 2014, Word of Mouth was inspired by the late Cincinnati poet Aralee Strange. Poets of all stripes are welcome to show up, listen, and mouth off.
