Crimson and Gray Poetry Submissions

A screenshot of a poem titled a Walk on a Cold Winter Afternoon. The poem is structured to resemble slanted steps, bringing to mind the rolling hills mentioned throughout the poem.

Here is a Google Drive containing several poems that I submitted to my university's literary magazine, Crimson and Gray, in 2024. The poems had a theme of nature as their core, and all three were accepted into the final edition of the magazine.

Writing on the Closet Wall

A screenshot the cover of a poetry magazine titled Writing on the Closet Wall. Most of the cover is taken up by a photo taken from the inside of a closet. The door of the closet is open, allowing light from the outside hallway to pour in. The upper border of the cover uses a gradient that resembles the rainbow of the LGBTQ+ Pride Flag.

Download a copy of Writing on the Closet Wall, my senior capstone project. The idea of the project was to create a small poetry collection made by and for LGBTQ+ authors and artists, showcasing work from writers of different LGBTQ+ identities as contributers, who had the option to remain anonymous if they wished.
