We all look very focused here lol
I can’t possibly rave enough about these wonderful people!! Our cohort was really special and tonight I witnessed the growth and evolution of each of these writers. I’m so grateful for my 2 years at UKY and for these super special people.

@b4apreposition is an AMAZING poet constantly honoring us with form and evoking her ancestors! Rich with words, Gabby is a powerful storyteller!
@honeyISblue is an INCREDIBLE poet moving us with courageous imagery and embracing the beauty of her identity: the pain and the joy!

@Plain_Janie is an UNBELIEVABLE fiction writer with a startling imagination. She is effective, funny, raw, evoking, brave, breathtaking and frightening (in a great way) with her words.
@GavinColton is a MARVELOUS writer! Emotive in his telling and retellings, Gavin captures people and places with dazzling details and is able to explore home, memory and identity in deeply personal ways.
Being in workshops with these folks + @revmak has been a remarkable experience. Mak is a truly talented and phenomenal writer whose insights and presence have impacted my time at UKY. If you’ve never read their work, run don’t walk — there’s plenty you can read!!
Sharing space with all these folks (and perfect twitter-less Chan) and the first years like Allegra and NitaJade has been SO SWEET and SO SPECIAL.
I didn’t mention every person by name but — I am grateful for our entire cohort!! I wouldn’t be the writer or person I am today without each of these people.
Honestly, being friends with my cohort has transformed my experience at UKY. I really felt safe enough to experiment and explore and stretch myself. I turned in shitty first drafts and tried new things & I knew I could do that with this group.
