Jolt of Memory

I am from the Lakes Region of New Hampshire and have many memories from what most would consider a typical New England childhood . As I get older I am struck with these memories that would otherwise be lost, and find them again in a context of nostalgia. While I\u27m bound to lose some if not most of my childhood memories at some point, the ones that strike me again are likely here to stay

The Sea The City

My name is Finn(He/Him),and I have adored writing ever since I went to a poetry slam at the archive in 2023. I used to write extensively about my own personal troubles, there would be a message but it was intensely personal and based around a bad experience with a close friend. Recently though, I have begun to write about my feelings and the world, writings poems about topics from Greed and Wealth, to stress and feeling overwhelmed. I come from Warren Ri and I love the sea

Aelan Lee is a third-year English Literature and Creative Writing major at RWU and a writing tutor on the side. This is their first Poetry Walk, although they did have a poem displayed at the Roger Free Library in Bristol last spring. Aelan’s poem, “The Miscellaneous Hiding Places of Friendship” is, as one might presume, dedicated to all the friends that have impacted their life

Reflections on The Craft

I am a Creative Writing major and I am cohosting a club, Writer Anonymous, on campus that aims to serve as a place where writers can share their work (this can be anything from narrative works to poetry, or even nonfiction writing and essays) either for the love of it, or to find critique and constructive feedback. I love to read and have amassed a sort of miniature library at home. My favorite book is the one that got me into reading in the first place: The Ranger\u27s Apprentice by John Flanagan
