The Useless Degree | Page 7

Amanda Needham is an American poet living in Wales and who, after taking a decade long sabbatical is making a return to the literary scene. She is left navigating a different world than the one she left, in a different country and now has to contend with technology. Her poetry is often based on folklore and legends, adding a modern twist to classic tales. Her other poetry can be found both online and in print.

Laura Werger's useless degree in art has proven less helpful in getting a job than her middle school typing class. She continues regularly making art though, most of which is inspired by Victorian curio cabinets. You can see more of it at facebook.com/demonkittydesigns or buy some of it at katarinanavane.etsy.com. Much of her time is currently going toward planning her wedding in September. She lives with her fiance and cat in Columbus, Ohio.
