Kacy Cunningham

Kacy Cunningham graduates with her B.A. in English-Creative Writing from University of South Florida this summer. She has spent the last year in Florence, Italy, writing poetry, working on her first novel, and learning Italian (or something) from her fiancé. She believes that life should be a collection of experiences, and she enjoys traveling and storytelling, particularly while swigging from a bottle of cheap wine shared with strangers on trains — trains because she is prejudice of buses. And Kentucky. Because it ends in “ucky,” which is just too close to “yucky.” Oh, and Bermuda shorts. Because they look pretentious. This is her first published story.
