Andrea Null
Andrea Null, a West Virginia Native, recently graduated from Washington and Lee University, where she received George A. Mahan Awards for both her poetry and fiction, the Elizabeth B. Garrett Prize in English and a Robert E. Lee Research Scholarship for Political Philosophy. She teaches English at a north Georgia boarding school and waitresses in West Virginia in the summertime. These poems, along with work in the fall Oxford American, are her first publications. Andrea would like to dedicate these works to the memory of her late mentor, Irene McKinney.
