Columbia University graduate student Ashni Math sits down with Washington Square Review editor Melissa Ford Lucken. A writer who prefers to ignore definitional boundaries, Math explores the similarities of poetry and creative non-fiction, shares her lessons learned from work as a poetry editor, and offers her perspective on what makes a successful college application essay.
Ashni Math’s story, Pastoral, appears in the Summer 2025 issue of the Washington Square Review.
