Meet Our Contributors

  • Jen Calder

    Columnist

    Jen writes about work, gender, and the acoustics of everyday life. Her essays balance precision with vulnerability, like mobiles swaying in a draft—never quite still, always in motion.

  • Ivy Harrow

    Essayist-at-large

    Ivy prefers her coffee black and her prose darker. She writes about systems that creak, ceilings that crack, and the quiet strength found in the shadows. Sometimes she leaves the library just before it closes.

  • Maeve Pascal

    Cartoonist-in-residence

    Maeve specializes in clean lines, existential cats, and comics that look deceptively simple until the captions double back on you. She insists coffee is an art supply.

  • Clara Petrichor

    Lyrical Columnist

    Clara collects rituals the way others collect teacups. Her reflections tend to arrive with the rain, soaked in atmosphere and a faint smell of earth after storm.
