The Authors
Corey Frost (Series Three)
Corey Frost is the author of My Own Devices and My Own Devices: Airport Version, which contain stories of travel and quotation and other calamities, as well as The Worthwhile Flux, which contains performance pieces that also feature a fair amount of travel and quotation. The books have been shortlisted for various awards without winning any of them. He is also a well-known spoken word artist who has performed on stages across Canada and the US, in Europe, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Currently he is writing a book-length essay about spoken word, as part of a doctoral program in English at the City University of New York. Originally he is from Prince Edward Island but now he usually divides his year between New York City, where he teaches at Queens College, and Lennoxville, Québec, where he teaches at Bishop's University.

Penny Dreadful (Series Two)
Penny Dreadful was born 1971 in Madagascar, and immigrated with her parents to the UK in 1984. In the early nineties she became an underground legend as an urban traceuse, and rose to iconic status with the explosion in popularity of parkour at the end of the decade. She approaches Le Parkour as a sport, as a philosophy and as an artform. When Dreadful began writing with intent at the age of 21, she continued to apply the philosophy of parkour to her writing practice, as she applies it to her everyday life.
For to practise parkour is to seek fear on a daily basis, to confront it head-on, to face it naked and alone. In parkour, you are stripped to your essence.
