Samir Knego reads his poem, "Post," and Peter Bankson reads his poem, "Garlic Lover." Both are published in our Spring 2022 issue.
Samir Knego is a multidisciplinary artist and zinester. His current exhibition, The Divine - dreams of disabled gods, combines poetry and visual art and explores disability and ableism through the language and imagery of religion. When he’s not making art, Samir works in a library and listens to lots of heavy metal.
Peter Bankson has been an active Steward of Seekers Church in Washington, DC, for a long time, where he helps support the worship life of the community and keep the building in working order. While his work over the years has focused on serving non-profit organizations, part of his being has lived in artistic expression: crochet, photography, poetry, and prayer.
