William Mayo is a former Duluth resident and has lived in Two Harbors, Minnesota, for more than 25 years. Long a part of the poetry scene of the North Shore and a former Artist-in Residence for Isle Royale National Park, he has published work in National Geographic Traveler, Poets Who Haven't Moved to St. Paul, and Zenith City Arts. He also holds an AAS Degree in Human Services and is an enrolled member of the Leech Lake Pillager Band.

A Minnesota native and longtime visitor to the North Shore, Kathryn Mayo now resides within view of Lake Superior.
