Managing Editor
Yana Fershtein
Yana is a Creative Writing student at KPU. She has an intense love of language and will ramble about phonetics or etymology at any given opportunity. She expresses her fascination with words, as well as the weird and whimsical, through her poetry. She loves a good romp of a poem that leaves you breathless and befuddled, with made-up words, bizarre imagery, and a tender heart. She also enjoys alliteration. When she isn’t writing, Yana likes to watch (and talk about) movies and shows, juggle, and get lost in Wikipedia rabbit holes for hours.
Senior Prose Editor
Aziza Azizullo
Aziza is a third-year English major at KPU. She spends a lot of her free time reading, writing, and making art. Her short stories have been described as modern myths and fable-esque, which she hopes that her art will also be described as one day. She currently enjoys creating meditative studies of plants, animals, and landscapes that may appear in future work. Her list of goals never ends and she hopes that it never does as she continues to accomplish everything she wants.
