Editorial Staff


Editor in Chief
Picture
​
Katie Budris holds an M.F.A. in poetry from Roosevelt University and is currently a Lecturer in Writing Arts at Rowan University. Her poems have appeared in over a dozen literary magazines, and her debut chapbook, Prague in Synthetics, is now available from Finishing Line Press. Prior to her time with Glassworks, she served as editor and marketing intern for Oyez Review. Find Katie online at katiebudris.com

Aesthetically, Katie believes Peter Cooley said it best: "poetry is instant access to emotion." She is drawn to poems that use concrete imagery and may appear simple, but utilize metaphor and layers of meaning to create a larger emotional impact.

Cate Romano earned both her B.A. in English and her M.A. in Writing from Rowan University, where she now teaches full-time in the First Year Writing Program and the Writing Arts major. She has also worked at the Rowan Writing Center as both a peer tutor and a faculty administrator
 
Cate enjoys poetry and prose that use language playfully, tell the truth, and offer readers more to discover with each pass. She especially looks for work that promotes connection rather than alienation.

Associate Editors
Picture
Elizabeth Dandrow Mosolovich loves alliteration and allusion, and poems that celebrate the joy of life and the beautiful things around us, especially nature. She enjoys structured, “traditional” poetry, but also appreciates those that think outside the box.
Picture
Georgia Iris Salvaryn enjoys a wide range of fiction, whether about a young man undergoing treatment in a sanatorium or about the coming of winter. She appreciates fiction that has the ability to envelop her in a new world, while keeping the characters and stories believable and relatable. She looks for stories that highlight uniqueness in the commonality.
Picture
Marissa Stanko embraces fiction that haunts the soul. She appreciates work that is vibrant and alive, that makes her pulse quicken. The allure of fiction for her lies in the thrill of gushing over a story you have just finished only to go back and read it once more. She is always looking for fresh pieces to complement old favorites, especially stories that feature complex female and LGBTQ+ characters.


Media Editors
Picture
Julianna Holshue ​is looking for work that expresses vivid emotions and imagery in understated ways. She is drawn to writing that emphasizes poignant moments among the mundane told in honest, strong voices. In art, she appreciates experimentation, imperfections, as well as unconventional subjects. She has a passion for work which gives voice to the experiences, identities, and expressions of marginalized peoples.
Picture
Thomas LaPorte ​cxplores literature for works which touch upon the existential—works that challenge the fundamental elements of being human. He looks for anything absurd which helps explain the world in which he lives. He enjoys wit and wordplay, complexity and simplicity. He enjoys writers who have a message to send.
Picture
Dom Marconi ​appreciates writing that is focused, engaging and undeniably unique. Works that span multiple genres inspire him more than anything. Dom is always looking for art that asserts itself in novel ways. He also likes stories about skateboards, race cars, and dinosaurs.

Nonfiction Editors
Picture
Ed Benkin ​reads plenty of nonfiction, including plenty of American history. For this seasoned journalist, it's facts first.
Picture
Connor Buckmaster is searching for creative nonfiction that challenges our natural perceptions and amplifies marginalized voices. He enjoys stories that explore the depths of our humanity, vulnerability, and flaws through honest, moving depictions of reality and the human mind.
Picture
Christina Cullen views language and storytelling as a means of truth-seeking. She enjoys many forms of writing, but latches onto anything that calls us to shift, challenge, and expand upon our knowledge and experiences.

Poetry Editors
Picture
Aleksandr Chebotarev is fond of written works that seek to redefine how writers write whether it be absurdist, minimalist, or surrealist--as long as it’s iconoclastic. It may be fictional or nonfictional--as long as it breaks tradition.
Picture
Sam Fine wants poems that forget they're poems, those glitches in the matrix that set readers' realities aside for a while, a short term lease on attention that leaves a mark. All forms, genres, structures, or lack thereof are welcome.
Picture
Angela Faustino seeks emotionally charged poetry. She enjoys reading a variety of structures, but prefers open form because of its freedom. She is looking for effective use of literary devices, especially keeping an eye out for metaphors and personification. She hopes to be moved by the pieces she reads, in some cases, even to tears.
