Current Editors
Hi! We are the Spring 2026 editors of The River. Check out the following posts to get to know us a little better!
Zac Holt is a third-year Creative Writing and English double major at the University of Maine at Farmington. He is a poet from the Northern woods of Maine who writes about anything he finds interesting. He loves listening to old artists like Bob Dylan, Jim Croce, and Johnny Cash. He enjoys telling stories (even if he may exaggerate what actually happened). And his favorite thing to do is laugh.
Emelia Cyr is a second-year student at the University of Maine at Farmington studying Creative Writing and English. She is a poet who enjoys writing about love, acceptance, and sometimes rage. She is deeply influenced by her favorite poets such as Mary Oliver and Sylvia Plath. As well as her favorite musicians such as Lucy Dacus and Lana Del Rey. And most of her references are from her favorite television series Gilmore Girls. Above all, Emelia is trying to write something that means something to someone.
