Writing

The Things I Carry - Kaelyn Daniel
"A watch, a hair-tie, my phone / These things are never abandoned / I carry a hoodie / To hide my insecurities, / From a world full of judgments." (Poetry)

Mom's First Wig - Brooke Sorenson
"Mom cut her hair short when the baby was born. / Baby’s slimy fingers somehow managed / to bind around her long strands / and tug at her luscious sea of gold." (Poetry)

Used Red Square Pillow (Manhattan) - Taylor Parsons
"I am not 'used.' / I may have been around / the block, or relocated / a couple blocks away, from / your ex-boyfriend’s penthouse on / 27th to this sad excuse for / an apartment up north." (Poetry)
