The Way I Walk, Abby Cline May 2014

The Way I Walk, Abby Cline

Cedarville Review

This essay explores the idiosyncratic nature of my personal walk. From horseback riding lessons to not-so-modest bikinis, the influences on my walk are many and varied.

All of my pieces reflect me trying to make sense of different areas of my life, moments I have been through or seen happen to others.

Calling All Spirits, Jesse A. Silk Jan 2014

Calling All Spirits, Jesse A. Silk

Creative Writing Minor Portfolios

Calling All Spirits showcases an exploration into the more uncanny aspects of life. In both fiction writing and poetry, this collection essentially wanders into various aspects of the post- Enlightenment societal void and communicates different characters and personas grasping at a more wholesome, organic existence amidst the processed and sometimes degradative confusion of contemporary life. Through offering different perspectives and putting words to multiple concerns, a goal of Calling All Spirits is to prioritize the works over any less important concerns about, for example, how closely a poem’s speaker resembles the author. Allowing a writer to freely voice a concern …
