MANAGING EDITOR
Kaitlyn Kessinger is a graduate from the English department at The State University of New York at Albany. While in attendance she interned for the university's undergraduate literary magazine and the New York State Writers Institute. Kaitlyn also recently received SUNY Albany's 2023 undergraduate poetry award, The Shields McIlwaine Award. Her focus in poetry is the feminine, nature, and nostalgia.

In her free time she enjoys cross-stitching projects she never finishes, writing poetry that her family will never read, and exploring forests better left alone.
