Constance By Jeremiah Dennehy (2017)

LRR, July 9, 2017July 4, 2017

The Jennie Hackman Memorial Prize for Fiction, Third Place (2017) I don’t take the school bus, I don’t drive, and because mom doesn’t get home from work until four most of the time, I don’t ask her for a ride. But if I take the 509 toward Whitney Avenue at…

Erythrophobia By Jameson Croteau (2017)

LRR, July 8, 2017July 4, 2017

From out in the outfield dirt, the crack of the bat was the only indicator a ball was rising up before dive bombing, back through the crepuscular sky. Jimmy turned and chased the echo of the sound. Go foul… Go foul… The ball, draped in a cloak of clouds, seemed…

LRR, July 5, 2017July 4, 2017

The Jennie Hackman Memorial Prize for Fiction, Second Place (2017) The girl I was seeing had this dog, a real fluffy fucker, whose name was Angus. It was her boyfriend’s dog. She was taking care of Angus because his owner was studying abroad in New Zealand for the semester. I…

Where I Am Going And Where I Have Been

By: Maggie Parker

LRR, May 19, 2017February 8, 2025

I live in extremes. People laugh when I say that, they smile at me as if they know what I mean. “You go from zero to 60. But you got that from me.” My mother has said to me. But she’s wrong, I’m not like her. My intensity is drug…

Nostalgia’s Curse

By: Jameson Croteau

LRR, April 4, 2017February 8, 2025

My grandparents’ living room reeked of encroaching death. Nature, for years, had been welcomed into the cracks of the handpicked brick walls that had been layered and mortared as an act of love from my strong armed Papa. But every one of those flowers, vines, and blooms were dying, curling…

10 Poems for Graduating Artists

By: Taylor Caron

LRR, March 20, 2017February 8, 2025

  I often think that I am the only second semester senior with artistic ambitions who is realizing that the coming months may not perfectly correspond with my long-held fantasies as a post-graduate. Maybe all of you, loyal readers, are ecstatic to begin working with one of the four big…

Want to Write? Get Talking.

By Benjamin Schultz

LRR, February 21, 2017February 8, 2025

Like most people, I can never pass up a good story. I’m sure that you are no different. Stories have always been able to captivate the human psyche– whether spoken, written, or edited together. Even that Super Bowl commercial that made you laugh is telling a story (albeit one 30…

My Inconsistent Affair with Literature

By: Parker Gregory Shpak

LRR, February 14, 2017February 8, 2025

My relationship with literature has been inconsistent at best. As much as I would like to pass myself off as the prodigal son of the modern literati, heralding the return of the writer-artist to the public eye, it would be dishonest to posture as anything resembling that figure. When I…
