Alejo A. Rodriguez is a poet, published author, and former professional basketball player from Dyckman, New York. Though he began writing at a young age, he hesitated to share his work until he overcame self-doubt and released Bad Poetry Vol. 1: Tumbleweed. His debut was praised for its raw emotion and authenticity. Now, with Bad Poetry Vol. 2: Rain set for late 2025, Alejo continues to evolve, offering an even deeper exploration of unfiltered emotions. Stay connected with him on Instagram @badpoetry21 or via email at badpoetry21@gmail.com.

Edward Igorevich Pankov is a poet of threshold spaces—where language dissolves, where fire purifies, where the unseen reveals itself. His work does not settle in the comfortable; it demands something of the listener. It is a ritual, a reckoning, a transmission from the liminal edges of consciousness. Born of old world blood and new world fire, Pankov weaves mysticism, philosophy, and lived experience into verses that do not merely speak, but summon. He channels poetry as invocation—of truth, of shadow, of what lurks beneath the surface but refuses to stay buried. A veteran of the underground, the sacred, and the subversive, he does not write for applause—he writes to awaken. His words are meant to haunt, to linger, to open doors you may not be ready to walk through. The doors are open. Step forward—if you dare.
