The H.U.N. Thrives
by Alvaro Archundia Perez
I have big dreams for my group The HUN to thrive
we have haters who forget we're a 1(mod 9)
deep, political, street
and comical poetry you can't deny
we are so diverse
we even have a rapper who's a white guy
words like dry vaginas
stiff-arms and tech nines
will leave you cryin’', laughin'’,
fuckin'’ mesmerized
especially with endings that deal with a needle to a pine
or was it so desperate to the pine needle
and realized that shit was fine
we have had people come and waste our time
arrogant mother fuckers
with egos oversized
but still we're The HUN and The HUN thrives
‘'cause when it comes to slams The HUN shines
and even though we are mean and vicious on the mic
The HUN is still friendly, welcoming, and kind
open to those who are smooth like a curve sine
those who make us laugh, think, and yes
even cry
'‘cause The HUN is a place where different voices unite
we see people with our ears not with our eyes
and for those who don't know we are The HUN.
and yes, The HUN thrives
Zach Drees
After graduating with his Bachelor’s Degree in English Writing, Zach Drees began work on his MSE at Wayne State College in the fall of 2011, as a graduate assistant. He is a member of the House of United Nations Initiating Class, and intends to pursue his education through the doctorate level and become a Professor of English. He writes poetry, short fiction, expository articles, book reviews, and is always open to new forms of writing. His work has been published in The Judas Goat, bringtheink.com, The Nebby, and in Dancing With Skeletons, published by Pseudo Poseur Productions. In his free time, he enjoys working for the WSC Press, playing basketball, or simply sitting on a bridge in the middle of nowhere, waiting for a poem. He the son of David and Holly Drees of Spencer, Iowa, and the brother of Nate Drees, a student at Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa.
Liz Lofgren is on the brink of graduating with her bachelor's degree in English Writing, minors in Anthropology and Studio Arts. She hopes to pursue Anthropology and Archaeology in graduate school and one day to do museum work. Writing was her first love, so she hopes to continue with her passion in poetry and experimentation in screenwriting. A stereotypical hippie, Liz's number-one inspirations are love and nature, but she does love pushing people's buttons. They say the three black-listed topics are money, religion, and politics, and all are recurring themes in her writing. A left-wing radical and revolutionary, she wants to change the world one day through the infinitely beautiful world of poetry.
Alvaro was born Alvaro Archundia in Los Angeles, CA on July 22, 1987. He and his family lived in LA until 1993, when his parents decided the violent enviornment was not where they wanted Alvaro and his sisters to grow. This was mainly due to the Rodney King riots which happened right outside their home. In February of 1993 they made the move to Northeast Nebraska, where they settled and where Alvaro and his sister were raised. The change was difficult for Alvaro and his older sister. At the time Nebraska was not ready to meet the needs of Hispanic students. He almost didn't pass the first grade due to language and cultural barriers, but Alvaro's father did not let up. After his father transferred him to Catholic school, where he finished his elementary schooling, he went on to middle and high school in a public setting. Alvaro graduated high school in 2005 and went to Wayne State College where he earned a degree in Theoretical Mathematics in 2011. He started writing in the fall of 2010 where he found a way to express his emotions and an outlet for what he saw as a child. He became a father in 2008 when his girlfriend gave birth to his son Alvaro Alejandro Archundia. Alvaro continues to write and enjoy life as a father.
From Melbourne, Australia, Alex West has also be known as Alex Osborne. A recent addition to the House of United Nations and the editor of their first book, Dancing with Skeleton s, published by Pseudo Poseur Productions, he came to America initially to play basketball at Southeast Community College. He then transferred to Wayne State in January 2011 to finish his journalism and advertising degree. Currently he is writing a guest column for the Wayne Stater every other month and is also the assistant sports editor. Alex enjoys writing poetry, news articles, columns, and whatever else it takes to get his opinion and voice out there. Alex takes a lot of inspiration from the differences in cultures between Melbourne and Nebraska. He plans to return home once he has graduated from Wayne State to pursue an advertising or column writing career.
David Dietz was born in Moose Lake, MN in 1985. He has lived all over the Midwest and has no true hometown. Writing makes him smile.
