My___on Mondays

Tiffany Eller is a poet, entertainer, and all-around creative. Her poetry explores themes of spirituality, love, and the complexities of being human. She values vulnerability and authenticity, advocating for everyone to find the freedom to Be. Her first publication, the Little Cuties coloring book, featured hand-drawn characters to encourage body positivity. Every project she finds herself poring over stems from the desire to create safe spaces for people to express themselves. Tiffany lives in Boise, Idaho, where she manages The Boise Bard Players, a nonprofit theatre company, and raises her daughter Henley. This week, she shares eight short poems.

Christy Claymore is a Boise-based writer, editor, and educator who enjoys running the foothills and adventuring with her kids. She has been published in the Cabin’s Writers in the Attic anthologies over the years, as well as other Treasure Valley publications. This week, she shares two poems and the opening of a novel in progress.

Kelly Cox and Eric Mullis are a long-standing collaborative artist team who met on a ceramics field trip in high school in Madison, Wisconsin. Over decades of working together, they have produced work across five states and exhibited nationally and internationally. Their work investigates the dissonance between physical, digital, and psychic space, drawing on the mythologies of architecture, product display, and media spectacle. At the end of their residency at MING, Kelly and Eric met with Matt Bunk during a busy day at Artfort to talk trickery, collaboration, and appropriate responses to a chaotic world.

Andy Wynn is a video artist and archivist originally from Boise, Idaho, now living in Sacramento, California. He has a lasting fondness for VHS scanlines. An obsessive scraper of hidden Internet corners, Andy constructs portraits of subcultures from fandoms to hate groups through video and image collages. His work is one part playful, one part political, and one part purely bizarre. This week, he shares a new audio piece: "A Guided Meditation for Robots."

Elena Maddy is a writer and stage manager originally from Roseville, California, now based in Boise, Idaho. When she writes, she writes about home. This week, she shares three sonnets and three sonnet crowns.

Daniel Mosakewicz grew up on a steady diet of comics, Star Wars, and books about things that could not possibly happen. He earned his degrees in English Literature and History from Appalachian State. Originally from North Carolina, he now resides in Boise, Idaho, where he eats too much Mexican food and listens to too much Bruce Springsteen. This week, we have a live recording from his reading at MING this past week: two fiction pieces, a poem, and an essay.

Falconers Hand is the solo project of Boise-based musician John Evans. Falconers Hand creates sound sketches: short, semi-ambient nudges toward story. This set of four sketches is A Couple Thoughts on Space Travel. John is currently at work on the first collected album of Falconers Hand sketches.

Ben Owens is a Portland local. He's a mechanic by day and a sound designer by night. This week, he shares a new piece of noise art: "Answering Machine." You can listen to more of Ben's work on episode 200: My Elevator Music.
