Hello! My name is Kelsie Crough and I am a graduate student at Rhode Island College studying English and Creative Writing. My academic research pertains to 21st century speculative literature with a special interest in psychoanalytical and eco-critical approaches. My creative work is mostly focused on short, magical realism fiction. Outside of academic pursuits, I work as a local journalist covering a variety of topics concerning Newport and Middletown, Rhode Island. In my free time, you will find me at the local library or on a run, training for my next 5k!
