MEET OUR EDITORS

ZOË BROWN
Copyeditor,
Creative Nonfiction Editor
Zoë Brown is a senior at UW-Milwaukee, where she is majoring in English Literature & Cultural Theory. When she’s not in school, you can find her making oat milk lattes at Stone Creek Coffee or reading queer literature. You can also find her on her YouTube channel reviewing, ranking, and raving about books of all kinds.

Cody Burt
Managing Editor
Cody Burt is a junior at UW-Milwaukee majoring in English with an open focus. In his free time, Cody spends countless hours arguing the merits of alternative economic systems and subsequently despairing at the languid pace of change. When not wallowing in melancholy, he can be found sipping on a cardboard held drink (carefully crafted to disguise the bitter tang of coffee) and devising masterful turns of phrase that will never escape the confines of lost memory.

Vivian Coenen

Fiction Editor, Publicist
Vivian Coenen is a sophomore at UW-Milwaukee majoring in English with an open focus. If she is not watching a movie with her friends, experimenting with a new cooking project, or working, she is probably out for a long, long walk. A lover of classic diners, she is on the hunt for the best waffle in Milwaukee.

Emily Dalske

Poetry Editor, Publicist
Emily Dalske is a senior at UW-Milwaukee majoring in English Literature & Cultural Theory. She is passionate about Stephen King, puns, and breakfast for dinner. When Emily isn't working as a librarian, she loves to spend time at home with her Hemmingway cat, Ghost.

Simeon De Valk
Fiction Editor, Web Editor
Simeon is a perpetually tired senior majoring in Creative Writing at UW-Milwaukee. He is very used to correcting people on the pronunciation of his name, and his plans after graduating include winging it and adopting a cat. Outside of class, he enjoys reading, writing, wasting time on the internet, and playing video games. He does not enjoy writing about himself, but he'll do it if he has to.

Tayler Drew

Art Editor, Graphic Design
Tayler Drew is a Graphic Designer and Art Editor on Furrow’s team. She is in her graduating semester at UW-Milwaukee where her concentration is Design. She is interested in designing spaces that embody human-centered principles for the hospitality industry. Her current philosophy: a truly enjoyable moment should not be work. She loves pork tacos, a good laugh, and midnight air.

Olivia Faleta
Fundraiser, Publicist
Olivia is her name (or “eclectic” she would claim), and she's a senior at UW-Milwaukee. She’s an Ad/PR major but prefers the title “creator” since her passions spread wide as the sea. Today she’s a writer, but each tomorrow invites her to be all that she wishes to be. And if you think she sounds cool, you should hire her after school; by this winter she’ll have a degree...

Emily Fedewa
Editor-in-Chief
Emily Fedewa is an Editor-in-Chief of Furrow and a third-year Creative Writing major. When she's not in class or working as a writing intern at an insurance company, you can find her exploring Milwaukee coffee shops, reading anything she can get her hands on, and pointing out every dog she sees on the sidewalk. She is awful at parallel parking but can at least say she always tries her best.

Leah Fischer-Toerpe
Poetry Editor, Web Editor
Leah Fischer-Toerpe is a Poetry and Web Editor for Furrow. The UW-Milwaukee senior's previous experience includes Features Editor for the MATC Times and publication in Gumbo Magazine, the Washington Island Observer, and the West Allis Public Library Staff Blog. In addition to writing, Leah enjoys hiking, biking, and folk music. Their future plans include graduate school and trying to save the world with solarpunk novels.

Evelyn Hinton

Fiction Editor, Copyeditor
Evelyn Hinton is a flagrant transsexual with a penchant for devilry and general chicanery. She's also majoring in English and Anthropology at UW-Milwaukee.

Neve Schauer
Fiction Editor, Copyeditor
Neve Schauer is a senior at UW-Milwaukee pursuing a Creative Writing degree. In her spare time she enjoys gaming, drawing, and writing, the last one being a lifelong effort to explore worlds of her own making and fulfill her dreams of battling dragons. Shockingly, she is an English student who can't have caffeine, but that doesn't stop her from staying up past bedtime to finish her latest fiction project. When she remembers, she posts creative fiction on her blog.

Haneul Seo
Graphic Designer, Web Editor
Haneul is pursuing his passion for graphic design. He is currently studying Design and Visual Communication at UW-Milwaukee. Most of his free time, he dives into creative activities like composing songs, drawing, and creating posters. With his multicultural background, sharing his experiences is one of the big themes in his artwork. Challenging himself to new experiences, he would extend his limitation and see what else he can achieve.

Shepherd Silver
Poetry Editor, Copyeditor
Shepherd Silver is an avid reader, writer, and editor. They are majoring in English and should be graduated by the time you’re reading this unless something has gone horribly wrong. They wrote for the UWM Post from 2019 to 2020 but didn’t produce anything worth reading. They enjoy Albatrosses, tequila, Lord of the Rings, or any combination of the three.

Syd Vinyard
Editor-in-Chief
Syd Vinyard is an Editor-in-Chief for Furrow. They are currently a student at UW-Milwaukee majoring in Creative Writing, and, one day, they hope to obtain an MFA in poetry (fingers crossed). When they’re not in the classroom, you can find them working on poetry, drinking way too much coffee, and hanging out with their polydactyl cat, Callie. They also make rocks cry, which is to say that they look more intimidating than they actually are.

Kahrima Winston
Poetry Editor, Event Planner
Kahrima Winston is an English Major and Creative Writing student at UW-Milwaukee. She aspires to be a journalist. Kahrima loves poetry; she spends a lot of time reading and writing poetry. The first story she ever wrote was “The Magic Skateboard” at the age of 6 in first-grade, and she knew then she wanted to become a writer. She has a deep appreciation for the work of James Baldwin. Some of her words can be read in the UWM Post, The Shepherd Express, and Milwaukee Magazine. #BlackLivesMatter
