The Bridge

Contributors’ notes

Kathleen Bazarsky is a third-year double major at Bridgewater State University, majoring in
English and Communications. She is passionate about the environment and works at an environmental
non-profit in Providence. In her free time, Kate loves to write, paint, and do yoga! You can also see some
of Kate’s work in The America Library of Poetry and in the UMass Boston Watermark Journal. And keep an
eye out for her book titled, I Will Eat You Alive With My Words—a poetry book, of course!

Adam Blowers is an English major with a concentration in Creative Writing, hoping to pursue
poetry and fiction writing as a means of being happy. Perhaps poor and underappreciated, but happy.
Unfortunately, his name does not rhyme with flowers—that would’ve made this poetry thing a whole lot
easier! He dedicates the poem “Auntie Barbara’s House” to Barbara Smith.

Meg Bonney is a senior political science major, minoring in writing studies. Since a very young age,
she has always had a passion for writing and hopes to become a journalist after she graduates. Apart
from writing, she loves to swim, paint, and spend as much time as possible outdoors.

Samuel Boure is a senior at Bridgewater State University and is working towards an English degree
with a concentration in Education. His areas of interest range from early research and analysis in
gender studies, to unpublished short stories that are still being shared and worked on in both local
and online communities. Samuel has a love for editing, enjoys helping others refine and perfect
the work they are doing, and would love to find a career where he can do just that. He has lived in
Whitman, Massachusetts his entire life, but frequently travels outside of the country to see and learn
about cultures that are vastly different from his own. As a transgender man, Samuel believes the most
important thing anyone can be is open-minded and hopes to continue doing work that supports and
represents those who need it most.

Elizabeth Brady is a first-year English MA student at Bridgewater State University. As an
undergraduate, her poetry was published in two volumes of The Bridge. After obtaining her MA, she
hopes to pursue rewarding work.

Abbey Branco is a senior at Bridgewater State University majoring in English and Early Childhood
Education. She loves to read and spend time with her dog, Iris. This is her third publication, her first
time being with The Bridge. In the future, she will continue writing, teaching, and helping as much as
she can.
