Constance By Jeremiah Dennehy (2017)
July 9, 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 6:15, I usually get to… More Constance By Jeremiah Dennehy (2017)
Erythrophobia By Jameson Croteau (2017)
July 8, 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 to carry by a will… More Erythrophobia By Jameson Croteau (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.

Where I Am Going And Where I Have Been By: Maggie Parker
May 19, 2017
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 induced. My personality is an… More Where I Am Going And Where I Have Been By: Maggie Parker
Nostalgia’s Curse By: Jameson Croteau
April 4, 2017
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 yellow and drying to the… More Nostalgia’s Curse By: Jameson Croteau
10 Poems for Graduating Artists By: Taylor Caron
March 20, 2017
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 publishing houses on your first… More 10 Poems for Graduating Artists By: Taylor Caron
Want to Write? Get Talking. By Benjamin Schultz
February 21, 2017
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 seconds long and created for… More Want to Write? Get Talking. By Benjamin Schultz
My Inconsistent Affair with Literature By: Parker Gregory Shpak
February 14, 2017
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 was young, however, I was… More My Inconsistent Affair with Literature By: Parker Gregory Shpak
