Why Every College Student Should Read The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

LRR, February 16, 2024February 8, 2025

Written By: Chloe Goodin If the ripe ages of 17-22 could be described in one word, I think most of us would agree, that word is: confusion.    Confusion over career paths, friendships, relationships, life goals, personal identity, dreams, and of course, the abandoned ones too. For many, art can…

LRR, February 14, 2024February 8, 2025

Written By: Charlie M. Case   Hollow Knight, an explosive indie success released in 2017, is a charming metroidvania that does not tell you about itself.   That is to say: Hollow Knight does not exposit, elaborate, or entertain in words. Dialogue throughout the game is sparse and utilitarian, written…

LRR, February 14, 2024February 8, 2025

Written By: Madison Bigelow   As a certified poetry nerd (or, at least someone who considers themselves to be such), there’s nothing I enjoy more than a classic poetry reading. Whether you’re familiar with the hypothetical writer or not, it’s a gift to be able to experience a piece of…

Gothic Horror: Recommendations and Symbolic Spookiness

LRR, February 11, 2024February 8, 2025

Written By: Rylee Thomas   Like many book-lovers, I read across genres. I love epic fantasies, but sometimes I’m in the mood for literary fiction. Sometimes an autobiography sounds fun, and you can always talk me into a good romance.    My favorite genre, however, will always be gothic horror….

Songs That Should’ve Been On The Twilight Soundtrack

LRR, February 11, 2024February 8, 2025

Written by: Ally LeMaster   The Twilight Saga.     Angst, vampires, star-crossed lovers, and a creepy, CGI baby.     The book and movie series that had a tight grip around my adolescent brain.     I remember being 10 years old and acting out the vampire baseball scene with my…

“Chasing Midnight” by Sarah Moynihan

LRR, May 6, 2023February 18, 2024

Midnight is such a tantalizing hour, the birth of a new day, the next twenty-four hours blank pages intended to be filled. An hour associated with hope; it’s crazy how easily that same hope can come crashing down in a single minute

“Toys in a Claw Machine” by Connor Gustafson

LRR, May 6, 2023May 6, 2023

As I sip my grimy, soiled, defiled, dirty spiced chai with oat milk, a middle-aged couple sitting at the windowsill scratches scratch-off tickets.
