Biographies

Jeremy Bottslives and works with his grandparents on the family farm in
Redland Valley PA. After 18 years in the suburbs of Chicago, providence
called him to the Rhode Island School of Design, where he received a BFA in
graphic design. He spent his senior year in Rome with weekend trips to
Assisi, exposing himself to finocchi, penne all'arrabbiata, and the frescoes
of Giotto. He teaches art part time at Messiah College, has designed several
typefaces, and enjoys forays into the lesser piano works of Chopin and
Scriabin. As he stokes the wood stove, Botts often imagines his renovated
chicken house studio sprouting scaly legs and running through the alfalfa
fields. He believes he will fly away some glad morning.
Bryce Alan Flurie lives on his family's farm in Lewisberry PA with his
artistically sympathetic wife, Jody, and children Elijah, Jael, and Tziporah.
After studying songcraft in Boston, he was tugged by his muse to return
to the Redlands and start a family. Here he has learned that poets shouldn't
use power tools and to avoid trips to the W.C. after cutting hot peppers.
He has researched the Delta Blues, mysticism, and contemplative prayer,
while trying to reconcile existential philosophy with evangelical Christianity.
In his spare time he enjoys composing scathing diatribes against summer,
television, and processed foods, taking walks in the woods, and finding
various uses for his many pocketknives. And he thinks that life is nothing
like a mountain railway....
