About

Corey and Kyle met working as baristas in a prominent bro-culture-driven San Francisco coffee shop. They first bonded over politics and influence theory. Since then, they've changed companies, moved in together and adopted two cats. In their work, Corey and Kyle explore themes of political unrest, chronic illness, displacement, abuse, queerness & "home" in works that range from "slice of life" to think pieces and are often set in San Francisco.

Corey Turner is a poet, coffee professional, and illustrator. She holds an MFA in poetry from Mills College. Her work critiques abusive sociopolitical systems and marvels at the people who break out of them.

Kyle Trager is an artist, writer, and professional dishwasher. His work grapples with hope, disillusionment, curiosity and emotional fragility; he questions whether it’s possible to feel grounded in a surreal and turbulent world.
