Marshall is the winner of the 2007 Field Poetry Prize for his book, Meaning A Cloud, published by Oberlin College Press. He has also published two chapbooks, Taken With (2005) and Blue Mouth (2001), both finalists for Washington State Book Awards.

Deavel is the author of Box of Little Spruce, a chapbook published in 2005 by LitRag Press. Her work is widely published in magazines, including Fence, The Iowa Review, and Volt. In 2009, Deavel’s piece "Of the Bird's Wing There Are Tracts of Feathers" will be included in an anthology of artists and writers, to be published by the University of Washington Press.

Marshall and Deavel are graduates of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. They are co-owners of Open Books, a poetry-only bookstore located in Seattle and one of two such stores in the nation.
