Andrea Danowski
Andrea discovered her passion for words when her first poem was published in the Loyalhanna Review at the age of 12. After a ten-year semester off from college and writing, she is now rediscovering her voice at Antioch. During her sabbatical from literary pursuits, Andrea explored west coast hiking trails, perfected her favorite cookie recipes, and learned how to tame feral kittens.
Courtney Rowe
Courtney is studying creative writing and other stimulating subjects at Antioch University, Los Angeles. She is putting the finishing touches on a dark comedy set for a release date of Memorial Day 2090. Her hobbies include writing, reading, weird films, even weirder music and walks along the beach.
Louise K. Shaw
After enjoying a successful career in Finance in London, Louise moved to Los Angeles to challenge herself in a new direction. Antioch was the right choice for her, as they value the experience of mature students. The opportunity to be an Editor and provide technical support on Two Hawks Quarterly has added variety to her overall learning.
Tara
Tara was Taylor Donlan until she went to India in 2006. In the last millennium, as Taylor, she was a Theater Arts major before she was seduced into dropping out and performing with a new theater company in San Francisco. Now, after some 30-odd years absence she finds being back in University at Antioch almost as fascinating, inspiring, challenging and creative a learning experience as her beloved India.
Kem Roy Neal became interested in writing in general, and playwriting in particular at an early age. He has studied acting at ACT and culinary arts at Johnson & Wales University. He has returned to college to study creative writing (B.A. program) at Antioch University Los Angeles.
Peter Donald
Peter’s major at Antioch is finishing with a degree of some sort before dementia and/or death occur. He has had a fine life as a musician, where no adult behavior was required, well into his middle age. At that point, he segued into producing music for advertising, which, although more adult in some ways, was mostly a well-paid exercise in suffering fools gladly. Peter is married to a fine adult, Darlene Chan, and also has a wonderful son, Andy, of whom he is very proud and who is becoming an adult a lot faster than his father was able to.
Wendy Hudson
At the age of ten, Wendy was awarded third place in a writing competition in her hometown of Toronto, Canada. She then went on to develop a severe case of writer’s block that lasted for just over thirty years. This condition did not stop her from having a long and strange career in advertising which she eventually gave up to pursue her B.A. at Antioch University. She maintains that the three most important food groups are coffee, wine and chocolate.
Chris Bautista
Born and raised in Southern California, Chris Bautista is a student at Antioch University majoring in Liberal Arts. Being a major tech junkie, Chris was recruited to help develop and maintain Two Hawks Quarterly's website. Chris is grateful to be part of the wonderful Two Hawks Quarterly team and a student of Antioch.
