Our Team

 
 

Peter Reamy
Editor-in-Chief

Senior, English major

As you can see here I’m pretty proud of my flip phone. I like vinyl but I also like folgers coffee. I think few things are better than a poem spoken aloud from memory—learned “by heart.” I think getting an MFA in poetry is silly.

I am from Portland, OR. I enjoy working outside. I enjoy talking with friends on a rainy day.

 

Delaney Smith
Poetry Editor

Senior — Spanish major, History minor, TESOL minor

Besides writing poetry, of course, I love to play guitar, paint, learn languages, crochet, make memes, and daydream to a soundtrack of Pink Floyd and Chicago. I am obsessed with the music, fashion, cars, and other pop culture of the 1950's-1980's, which influences my self-expression and art more than anything else in the world. I've worked all sorts of jobs, from baker to art teacher to janitor. In the fall of 2021, I studied in Sevilla, Spain and the further I get away from that time, the more I realize a small part of me still lives there.

You can catch me around campus with my head in the clouds and wearing bell bottoms or saddle shoes, depending on the day.

Aleks Morales
Prose Editor & Graphic Designer

Sophomore, English Major

I have three loves: words, music, and drawing. I believe that story is one of the greatest parts of existence, and I'm passionate about stories told through various mediums (novels, poetry, graphic novels, songs, etc.). I'm a chronic bibliophile, reading eight or more books at a time. One of these days my books will fall over and kill me. Until then, I want to read as many as possible. I have a deep dislike of anything written in present-tense, and doubly so for present-tense first-person. There is only one book in P.T. 1st P. that I liked (the Seven and a Half Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle). My dream is to one day be a published author.

 

Ally Dunn
Marketing Director

Junior, English major

Hi, I’m Ally. I believe that literature is one of the most important things on the planet!

I'm from Southern California, I love coffee, thrift stores, and good food. I'm strategic, creative, good at communicating, and have a LARGE gap in working experience because all the programs I've been a part of since high school stipulate that you can't have jobs! My overarching goals in life are 1) finding out what is The Good Life and 2) how can I consistently pursue truth, goodness, and beauty.
