The Bridge

Maia Daschke is a junior at BSU. She loves to write poetry, flash pieces, and anything on her mind
that desperately craves an outlet (which is pretty much everything). She finds poetry in the normalcy of
everyday life and refuses to write with artifice. Most often, you can find her reading and writing at her
local coffee shop or exploring nature for a quiet place where she can continue to do both.

Cassandra Domeij is a Fine Arts major with a minor in Management at Bridgewater State
University. She concentrates in painting and sees herself as a detail-oriented artist. She focuses on
creating realistic works of art that are mainly human portraits.

Laine Drew is a writer and future educator from Plymouth, Massachusetts. She believes that stories
are what we identify with. People (including herself) find it hard to write nonfiction because it is
hard writing about the deep, the ugly, and the tender experiences that make up large portions of our
lives. However, she chooses to write nonfiction because she likes to believe that her story can make a
difference. She likes to believe that her story can resonate with someone else, and can give them the
courage to tell their story. That is why she writes nonfiction, and, ultimately, that is why she writes.

Pierre Dumoulin-Minguet was born and raised in France and came to the United States of
America when he was nineteen to go to college. Pierre is a Psychology Major with a minor in Studio

experimenting with oil paint. Pierre wants to become a therapist and considers studying art therapy.

Dominique “MO” Durden is a twenty-three-year-old poet, an avid reader, and lover of all things
art. Her passion has always been music, poetry, and the arts as a whole. Poetry is her truth. Being able
to find healing through her platform as an artist is a gift that she is truly thankful for. She can be found
on social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr as @momothepoet.

Caitlin Faria is a freshman at BSU. She plays goalie on the women’s club ice hockey team and is a
member of RHA. In her free time she likes to write, read, listen to music, and watch movies.

Ginnelle Foster is a Fine Art and Secondary Education major who is interested in every subject
from art to science. She is currently focusing her artistic efforts on a few pairs of large, wearable,
articulated wings in the sculpture program. She works at the Bridgewater State University observatory
and aspires to teach art in high schools abroad. She hopes to one day pass on her interest in integrating
multiple subjects within her art to her future students.
