Crayons And Yarn, Danielle G. Holloway

Creative Writing Minor Portfolios

This portfolio contains poems, creative nonfiction, and short stories, all original pieces of writing produced while completing the Creative Writing Minor at Cedarville University.

Secondly, I want to create a world that is recognizable and believable as Earth despite the influence of the supernatural. Finally, I want to represent the presence of the poetic in the everyday.

Fishers of Men takes place in near-future New York City. Ravaged by a severe hurricane, much of the city is in ruins. The Bronx has been hit hardest out of the still-habitable portions of the city, …
