It all started when…

Creative Writing
To whom it may concern,
Contained within this portfolio you will find a collection of my poetry and short stories from MCAD’s Creative Writing class.
The first story follows a trapper through his daily routine which, sadly, he does not survive. The second story tells of a young, minimum wage, grocery casher who documents his harrowing three weeks trapped inside the store. The rescuers found his lifeless body with this document scrawled on the only medium the man could find, toilet paper.
Next you will find a poem about Io and Zeus. Inspired by the work of Carol Ann Duffy, this poem comes across as more abrupt than my other pieces. The second poem I wrote while on a visit to The MIA. I intended to capture the photograph (titled The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters) in this poem. Finally, the last poem tells of a farmer’s daughter and her relentless campaign to protect her garden against the ferocity and unpredictability of spring weather.
I hope you will enjoy reading my works as much as I did writing them.
Sincerely,
Anna Staus
