MFA student York publishes more poems

What are some of the influences of Alexander York?

"If I told you Chicago wasn’t an influence, I’d be lying," says York. "Since moving to the city, I have changed numerous aspects of my writing, but working my way through a two and a half year MFA program helps the development quite a bit too. I try my best to mix the experience of city life and my small town familiarity I have embedded from living mostly in Ohio."

"Rain, Snow, and Other Weather"

"Evolution of a Writer"

Major kudos to Lauren, who was also just awarded an internship with Another Chicago Magazine.
