Shannon Pulusan joins JaxbyJax!

We are delighted to welcome another new voice to the JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival: Shannon Pulusan.

Shannon Pulusan is a writer and illustrator based in Jacksonville. For her editing process, she likes to sketch images based on the poem draft to test the clarity and vividness of her words. Illustrations help inform her writing and vice versa. She reviews poetry as an editorial assistant for Flock, manages her blog quiet planet, and draws round-faced characters with triangle noses and pepperoni cheeks under the name moonmemo. Her poetry has been featured in Hour of Writes, Asian America: The Future is Now, and Bridge Eight.

1 Comment

Tom Ferriello graduated from the University of North Florida in December of 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in English and a minor in creative writing. His poetry and fiction can be found in The Talon Review and Bending Genres. He reads, writes, and attempts to play the piano so people will think he is cultured. It’s yet to work. Check out Alive Poets Society, the lit loving podcast he co-hosts with two much smarter and funnier people.

We are delighted Tom will read with us at JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival on Saturday, November 16th.
