The Interns

2009-2010

Harrison Dietzman

Harrison Dietzman is a junior at Seattle Pacific University majoring in English literature. He spent his first two years of college as a misguided pre-medicine student before realizing that receiving college credit to read books and write about them was a better idea. In his spare time he haunts bookstores and coffee shops and goes on spontaneous road trips. His current plans are to attend graduate school after SPU. At some point, he'll probably end up teaching, but isn't in any rush. Recently he had a bit of a breakdown and bought an assortment of media studies books, but it's probably just a phase.

Christy Edwall

Christy Edwall graduated in 2008 from Greenville College, Illinois, with a degree in vocal performance and a minor in English literature. When Christy is not at Image, she works at an independent bookstore. A South African expat, she enjoys traveling, her daily cup of coffee, the aroma of books, and the BBC.

Heather Hoye

Heather was born outside of Detroit, Michigan, and has since moved 18 times. She is a senior at SPU majoring in creative writing. She has a life-long love of art in both written and visual form. She enjoys pumpkin-flavored things, finding good deals, baking, and the color red. In her free time, she relaxes by painting and watching numerous episodes of Frasier and 30 Rock.

Danica Humphries

Danica Humphries does not enjoy fresh air, coffee, or riding fixed gear. She wishes she slept more and that Pokémon were real. It is rumored that she has never lost a game of anything, ever. Danica swears she's somewhat like Voltron: Defender of the Universe and, in these dark and desperate times, that's exactly what we need. We forgive her for her strangeness mostly because we have no other choice.

Shelby Stuart

Shelby Stuart is a Creative Writing major at Seattle Pacific University with a minor in French. She will graduate in March 2010 and hopes to find work in Europe. Shelby is mildly obsessed with Switzerland and Rainier Maria Rilke. She enjoys writing and drinking coffee.

Kali Wagner

Kali, an SPU English major, likes making lists. She most recently hails from the land of double-fried okra, might-coulds, bless-their-hearts, and ya'll-come-back-nows. Because writing sometimes feels like peeling off skin, Kali feeds her soul by reading style blogs, sliding down sand bluffs at Discovery Park, baking pumpkin spice muffins, googling Cape Town postgraduate programs, and perusing antique stores for vintage handbags and earrings.

2009 Luci Shaw Fellow - Joanna Vance

Joanna Vance, originally from central Pennsylvania, is a student at Houghton College in New York, majoring in both Writing and Humanities. She began to love artistic expression at the ripe age of three, scribbling with black crayons in an attempt to “write” a story. While none of her words made sense then, she's been writing ever since--and reading. She could legitimately claim that more than half of her childhood physical education program was made up of the weightlifting of library books. While at Houghton, she's taken part in a number of enlightening educational opportunities, including being a member of the First Year Honors Program which took her to the Balkans, as well as working on the Lanthorn, Houghton's student literary magazine, as a staff member. Joanna joined the Image staff in Santa Fe this summer, where she took part in B.H. Fairchild's poetry workshop.
