Roxy Brown, from Volume 2:2

Roxy Brown is a writer from San Diego who is centered in a  unique but contemporary style. Her influence starts with cacoethes scribendi — "the insatiable urge or itch to write" — and is fueled further by muses such as Sylvia Plath, Philip Larkin, Khalil Gibran, Anais Nin, and Natalie Eilbert. She currently is in the process of obtaining her degree in neuroscience with an emphases in creative writing.

Below is an excerpt of Brown's poem, "Neophobia," from Volume 2:2:

          Two years ago
          the garden of Eden, apart
          from its virginity, was something.

          [...]

          The vehicle is simple: to leave Adam and Eve
          will have to fit better than all this skin.
