Here's who we will be focussing on, after a lot of head scratching: Craig Arnold / David Biespiel / Adrian Blevins / Gabrielle Calvocoressi / Darcey Dennigan / Sarah Gridley / Matthea Harvey / Terrance Hayes / Noelle Kocot / Cate Marvin / Chelsey Minnis / Ange Mlinko / Meghan O'Rourke / Kathleen Ossip / Kiki Petrosino / DA Powell / Atsuro Riley / Brenda Shaughnessy
