Kathryn Zacharatos, BA

In my final year at Duquesne University, I decided to pursue a Creative Writing minor in addition to my focus on literary analysis. Below are pieces I wrote for both Intro and Advanced Poetry Workshops. These pieces were selected by Duquesne’s literary journal, :lexicon.

fire dying with a whimper, an afterimage

outlined by night sky

Step slowly into these shadows,

little girl

Tension twining through quiet hours and

your fingers molding divots in my face
