About The Author
Anne Livingston is a sophomore at Grand Valley State University, where she is double majoring in English and Spanish, hoping to fully dedicate her life to words. Although she typically works as a traditional poet, she also engages in poetry slams, winning her most recent competition. She believes in respecting rules, save those times when they are wrong about life or love or when/where to cross the street. This often leaves her heartbroken, jaywalking or both.
