description I developed and executed a Creative Writing senior thesis project on the life of 20th century religious leader David Koresh. I wrote and designed ~30 concrete poems (which incorporate visual components and illustration in concert with text), and my completed thesis project was presented the Nagin Award — the prize for best Creative Writing Senior thesis work — at Carnegie Mellon's annual Adamson Awards for student writing.
