LITERATURE

Pillow Case Problems

by

Peter Katsnelson

Peter Katsnelson is a 15 year old author and spoken-word poet based in Calgary, Alberta. He has been creating since he was nine years old, and got his first stories published in E-Zines that same year. He is passionate about exploring all emotions and genres in his writing, and never really sticks to just one style or theme. He's a sucker for a fresh strawberry banana smoothie and a good guitar solo.
