Spencer is a senior creative writing major originally from Nashville. Her favorite forms of literature are songs, storms, and stories told on porches. She loves reading apocalypse narratives, Southern family memoirs, and poems that meander. Her favorite writers are Jeff Vandermeer and Eavan Boland. In her own work, she’s inspired by memory, music, monsoon, and mythology. When she’s not writing, she’s usually baking up a storm in her kitchen, looking for lighthouses, or hosting a tea party.

Sophie L. Smith is a junior at Western and a noted enjoyer of both writing words and reading words. They read and write across many genres and conventions, with the unifying theme being their fascination with human beings and the things writing can reveal about us. They love Wikipedia, astronomy, the Olympics, wandering around taking cool photos of stuff, terrible action movies, eating too much ice cream, and every cat they've ever met. You can probably find them by their brightly-colored outfit.
