Bio (auto)
Elizabeth Alford has always had an on-again-off-again relationship with poetry; but in the wake of her graduation from CSU East Bay, she recently announced that they are now going steady (much to everyone’s relief). She lives in Hayward, CA with her loving fiancé, mother, and two adorable dogs. Her favorite things include sushi, loud music on long drives, staring at the stars, and, of course, writing. Her work has appeared in the student literary magazine Occam’s Razor, on the Haikuniverse website, and in the MY SWEET WORD series by Silver Birch Press.

Almost a Love Poem Affection comes in many forms, Chemistry. We have chemistry. You have chemistry homework. Difficult doesn’t begin to describe it. You’re buried in books— Maybe school isn’t the solution, you once said, on the cusp of devolution—to Perhaps the bonds that connect us are stronger than I thought. Quarks—we had an argument about quarks recently. You thought, We are made of atoms, after all. …….We are the same inside, after all.
