Laurel BartonPOETRY
Origins
Firestar I am a 22 year old English literature major born in Tulsa before Tulsa was considered cool. My mother and sister’s mutual interests in writing, drawing, and painting were my chief influences, and because of them, my interior life was always drawn to the arts – visually, literary, and musically. I’ve been an avid reader for as long as I can remember and started writing both short fiction and poetry around age ten. It didn’t take long for me to realize writing was the craft I wanted to live by.

Brianne GrothePOETRY
We Are But Windows
Taste My name is Brianne Grothe, and my pastimes include writing poetry, reading poetry, and pretending that life can be better understood in metaphor and motif (hasn’t worked out for me just yet). Besides attempting to make beauty out of chaos, I enjoy staying up until the wee hours of the morning, piecing together my friends’ life stories, and meeting other (tortured) artists.

Dominick LombanoPOETRY
Roots
I was a little too tall
Could've used a few pounds Tight pants points hardly reknown She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes And points all her own sitting way up high Way up firm and high Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy Out in the back seat of my Chevy Workin' on mysteries without any clues on our night moves to make some front page drive-in news on our night moves In the summertime In the sweet summertime |
