Keimi Yamagata

Keimi Yamagata

Keimi Yamagata has somehow managed to escape the men in white suits with butterfly nets and consequently lives in Southern California, but is pale and never without her parasol. Nothing thrills her more than the sound of a chainsaw motor, Dexter Morgan's pre-kill laugh, and wire cutters freeing an animal from a cage. She's recently written her first novel with romance, dry comedy, serial killers, and bouts of civilized cannibalism. Her work appears in Serial Killer Magazine, Street Voice Newsletter, UK-based In It On It and will soon be seen in Twisted Dreams and Morbid Outlook. When not found waiting at stops for her bus, Keimi can be found participating in an assortment of avant-garde and grosteque things. Email: Keimi Yamagata

Bob Yamtich

Bob Yamtich, trained as an environmental engineer, has spent time teaching conflict resolution and middle school math, building homes with energy efficient features like tankless water heaters, and teaching Nonviolent Communication in the San Francisco Bay Area, including San Quentin State Prison. With hopes for learning and self-connection, Bob graduated from Bay Area Nonviolent Communication's 2007 North American Leadership Program. Holding needs for engagement, contribution, and effectiveness, he continues to lead and assist in communication workshops and retreats and to build homes, and is looking to help people explore math and science and create and sustain open-hearted connections by empathy, mediation, and restorative circles. Bob is grateful for the depth and quality of connection with his partner H, who inspires him and teaches him more about needs-connected living than any book or workshop.
