Lessons From a Graduating English Major

Emily Catenzaro

LRR, April 28, 2017February 8, 2025

I’m graduating from college in less than four weeks – finally. After almost 6 years at UConn, I’m now facing my last days as an undergraduate. Like a lot of undergraduates in my position, in-between the moments of intense senioritis and burnout, I’m feeling nostalgic. For the most part, my…

On the Death of Poetry and Derek Walcott

By: Taylor Caron

LRR, April 24, 2017February 8, 2025

I can’t locate exactly when I became aware of Derek Walcott’s poetry. I don’t have a touching anecdote about the first poem I read in a used bookstore responsible for catapulting my deep interest in both the man and his work. That was a slow, inevitable process. Initially, I was…

Slam at the Benton: “Food Stamps”

by Jacob Lowell (2017)

LRR, April 20, 2017June 16, 2017

Food Stamps by Jacob Lowell When I was 5 years old I would sit with my mother and cut out the coupons in the newspaper, all spread out on the dining room table. They tell me I couldn’t remember being on food stamps; I was only a kid. But I…

Slam at the Benton: “Hardwood Laxatives”

by Jacob Nelson (2017)

LRR, April 15, 2017February 8, 2025

Hardwood Laxatives by Jacob Nelson I think HGTV is trying to redefine what a home is After realizing that at 3000 Sq ft two bedrooms And a home office No one under 35 has a home Open floorplans and hardwood are timeless So they switched greatrooms to microhomes and studios….

My Voice is like Bomba

Gabriela García Sánchez

LRR, April 11, 2017February 8, 2025

Writing, music, art, and dance all have one thing in common–voice.  No matter the art form, the creator laces his or her own voice into the work. In Eleanor Parker Sapa’s blog, Finding Your Unique Writing Voice, Sapa defines voice as  “the unique way by which we see, experience, and…

Ginsberg Would Have Wanted You to Get this Tattoo

By: Betty Noe

LRR, April 10, 2017February 8, 2025

Browsing through the blog of the literary journal Paper Darts (a fine publication that I would recommend to anyone—even if only for the top notch staff bios) my eyes hit on a headline that I couldn’t pass-up: Five Roxane Gay quotes we just might tattoo on our biceps. Talk about…

Punctuation Party Stereotypes

By: Mairead Loschi

LRR, April 8, 2017February 8, 2025

If you’re living the life of a typical college student, you’ve probably made it to a party or two (no word back on if you remember them…). And, if you’re at all like me (a writer and a deeply introverted person), you’ve probably also cringed at the memory of going…

Slam at the Benton: “tops of trees”

by Jillian Cundari (2017)

LRR, April 8, 2017February 8, 2025

tops of trees by Jillian Cundari today for the first time in a long time I saw the tops of trees. I rolled to a near stop in drive at the top of the hill to see the trees and farms rising in heaps and the bubbling people, pushing through…

Books and Videogames: A Marriage of Two Mediums

By: Autumn Magro

LRR, April 7, 2017February 8, 2025

I love videogames more than books – sometimes. It’s not easy to admit that books are not my one bountiful passion in life (because how romantic is that?), and it’s taken me even longer to rationalize the two together. Unlike books, there is a negative connotation with video games. There…
