Author’s Bio’s
Andrew Erkkila is a sophomore English major. He is proud to offer the following
message, “ladiez, there be only one thing you gotta know bout me: I can rock a
body suit soo good it blows yo mind. Sho’ ‘nuff. Gimme a call.”
Catharina Evans dedicates this publication to her mother, one of her best
friends, a woman whose keen sensibilities and acute sense of moral character has kept
her from hanging onto relationships that deserve to be kicked to the curb. Catharina
tends to possess an engulfing sensitivity and attraction to poet-types (read: blackwearing,
music-obsessed, long-haired, lanky-limbed philosophers). However, she does
enjoy spending time on much lighter subjects, including music, painting, sculpture, art
history, moderate feminism, politics, meditation, Buddhism, and
Walt Whitman.
Jessica Gill will take over the world one day with old prom dresses and vanilla
ice cream with rainbow sprinkles after she falls off more ottomans. She is currently a
junior English major who wants to do too many things and has not quite figured out
how to do it all. Suggestions are always welcome.
Nicole Grieco is a junior English major, Creative Writing/Women’s and
Gender Studies minor. After college, she plans to drive around in a fuel-efficient van
solving mysteries.
Anon E. Moose may or may not be one or more of the following: an actual
moose who wrote this poem by dipping his hoof in ink and stomping it against a rock,
a person who wishes to remain “anon-y-mous” or one of the editors of this magazine
messing with your mind.
Courtney Rydel is a slightly over-grown hobbit masquerading as a junior
English major with minors in Creative Writing and Classical Studies. Courtney is
proud to be a very active STD, co-vice president to be precise. She resides in Bliss, her
home base for pestering unlucky students and professors.
Kaitlin Severini is a junior English major and Spanish minor. She enjoys
writing, reading and playing rugby for the College’s club team.
Paul Talbot is a third year English major. He surfs a lot, but writing poetry and
fiction are career goals. “To me, writing opens the eyes of the world.”
Pamela Wrede is an English Secondary Education major with a creative writing
minor. As many of her classmates can attest to, poetry is not her strong point. She
is also a sister and president of Zeta Tau Alpha who loves music, movies, thefacebook
and shopping (when she has money). This poem is for her late great grandma whom
she loves and misses.
Mar y Kay Metcalf is a graduate student in English, expecting to receive her
master’s degree this summer. She is a graduate of the University of South Florida and
studied Journalism at the College. A Cranbury resident, she recently retired from a
public relations career to complete her master’s and pursue writing full-time.
