Meet the Carolinian Poet: A former public poet in college which earned her the title of an honorary member for USC-PALABRA, Sievney Quidet has since turned into a reclusive aspiring nonfictionist. Her textbook Sagittarius-sun-Aries-moon (yes, double sun signs!) nature is what defines and motivates her writing style: mouthy, fiery, and terribly moody. Sievney is currently isolated from urban society due to the current circumstances, so she has decided to rewrite the entirety of Lang Leav’s first poetry collection Love and Misadventures out of boredom, which she is publishing on her blog gisapot.tumblr.com. She would like to give a shoutout to her former students at USC and SPS, her dear friends LPG, Quarantine Room 4, and the 2/3 of the Three Musketeers. She loves you all and hopes you all be kind to yourself. And yes, when she has her pictures taken Instagram influencer style, she does not know what to do with her hands, so she makes peace signs. If you know, you know.

Meet the Carolinian Poet: I am Flor Vincent Tan, a 19-year-old first-year BS-Architecture student who likes the color black, long walks on the beach, vanilla-flavored ice cream, and currently can't get the song "Chicken Wing" out of her head.
I know I am not perfect and never will be perfect, but that's okay because perfection is not a synonym for reality but rather the worst metaphor.
Poetry connects me and my thoughts in the most pulchritudinous ways in which I would have never thought would exist until written down. One reason why I write is that I want to be reminded of what got me through the hardest days of my life and how I bottled the best ones to keep the memories of them.
