Tomas Baiza, director of academic advising in Advising and Academic Support, and a Boise State creative writing student, had a short story accepted for publication in the literary magazine, In Parentheses. The magazine’s next issue will focus on the social and cultural relevance of crowds as society transitions to a post-COVID-19 world.
“I tend to write about characters in transition from one form of vulnerability and self-awareness to another,” Baiza said. “‘Come Stai, David?’ (Italian for, ‘How are you, David?’) focuses on the isolation one can feel in a new environment and our awkward – and sometimes painful – efforts to make human contact.”
