Writing Contest
First Place: Lulu Priddy – “[the gulls, in frenzy]”
Lulu Priddy is a first year at Scripps College and is from New York City. She loves to write, specifically poetry, as well as work in visual art. She often crosses over the two mediums to create work that includes language and drawing or painting. Most of her work explores sound, color, and other abstract themes that involve the senses. In June of 2016 she published a chapbook of poetry entitled “Swallow, Low” with a press in Brooklyn, NY and plans to continue writing throughout her time in Claremont and onwards.
