Dakota Lovins is a senior at ASU studying English Literature. He has been writing poetry, stand up comedy, and short stories since high school and now participates in the Tempe Late Night Comedy Troupe. His poetry often deals with relationships and memories. After graduation, he will be moving to San Jose to work for Cisco on their Global Sponsorship Team but will continue to keep writing as long as he is alive.

Headshot of Francisca Ribar

Francisca Ribar is a student at ASU working on her Bachelor's degree in English. Her writing process is deceptively simple. It involves her prized Beats headphones and an endless supply of Goldfish. Ribar moved to Arizona from Florida five years ago and hasn't looked back. She loves the mountains, deserts, and even the haboobs. Ribar is currently working on a book, but often finds the time to give her collection of poems the love and care they deserve.

Headshot of Kelsey Kerley

Kelsey Kerley is a Junior majoring in English with a concentration in Creative Writing, Secondary Education with a focus on History, and a minor in Art History. She currently interns as the Student Editor-in-Chief for Superstition Review, ASU's undergraduate-run literary magazine. She is a freelance academic editor and photographer and enjoys music and art in her free time. Her poetry explores the complexity of ordinary experiences with the goal of sharing meaning and encouraging greater understanding among her audience.
