HAMPTON RENAISSANCE
Who We Are
Dr. Scott Challener
I'm a practicing poet and the managing editor and faculty advisor for the Hampton Renaissance. I joined the department of English & Foreign Languages as an Assistant Professor in 2021. I teach courses on twentieth- and twenty-first century literature and critical theory. My poems and essays appear in The Nation, Poetry, Gulf Coast, Lana Turner Journal, Mississippi Review, OmniVerse, the Los Angeles Review of Books, The Rumpus, and elsewhere.
Erin Townsend
I'm Erin, an English major with a concentration in creative writing from Atlanta, Georgia. My hobbies are painting, embroidery, and now editing literary magazines. I love publications that add a visual element to written pieces, and my work on the Renaissance makes sure the same is true for our literary magazine.
Gabriel Crawford
Hey! My name is Gabe Crawford, and I am an English major with a concentration in film. I joined the Hampton Renaissance because I am an enthusiast for writing and absolutely love creative expression! I am an aspiring author and screenwriter who loves writing sci-fi, action, and fantasy stories. I am eager to share my captivating storytelling with this magazine, and excited to welcome all artists who seek a space to express their creative freedom!
