Lancee Whetman is a 30-year-old New Mexico-based writer and seeker of the quiet. Originally from Utah, she traded the basketball court for the courtroom, earning her Juris Doctorate in pastoral Vermont. Writing has remained her steadfast companion through every chapter of life, and she is passionate about the therapeutic power of poetry and the way words can heal, comfort, and inspire change. When she isn’t writing, she’s exploring the wilds with her dog, Howdy. She is the author of three poetry collections Blinded by Feeling (2023), Further West & Fireweed (2024), and Chapped Lips (2025).

He was a finalist for the 2021 Eric Hoffer/Medal Provocateur Book Award for the book Outlier. He has traveled and lived extensively, especially in South America and the United States. He currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico, following a long tenure in the Pacific Northwest.

Austin Bromley’s lyrical inquiries source from her obsessive enamorment with what it means to be deeply human. Her work explores the fundamental question of how we might retain this humanity, no matter what. This work of being human, is akin to that of the artist, in that it requires us to find ways in which to transform our isolations into something shared, ever defying the modern addendum that to heal is simply an internal process of self actualization and right remedy. She writes from her high desert home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She recently released her first book of poems: Things I Need to Hear: A Lyrical Defense of Brokenness.
