Edward Oluokun is
a drummer, painter, and author of the Ancient Echoes. He has
performed with musical groups, as well as mounting solo art exhibition
here in the states. Edward has been an educator here in New England
since 2011. He teaches English at Massasoit Community
and Roxbury Community colleges. He obtained a Master’s degree in
English from the University of Memphis and a Master of Divinity from
Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary. Edward is an advocate for the

Carli Pires is
a 15 year-old high school student from Brockton High. She is new to the
poetry scene and writes sentimental and powerful poems with a dash of
the student life she lives. Her journey in life has been the roughest of
roads in life with the torment of mental
issues, so she puts her stresses into her poems to calm the scenery.
