Hold your breath for hours,

Peel off that monster face.

Have you mastered the art of lying

Crossing your fingers while you’re saying grace?

Honey-drunk and tired

Sleeping in last night’s clothes,

Who am I supposed to be tonight

The guys will never know,

That it’s a god-damn horror show

But we’re familiar with the way fresh blood flows.

When will anybody notice our worth?

I was sitting in my Calculus class,

Wondering how to graph an integral,

But not wanting to think about math.

Instead I chose to write some verse,

Because it’s better than finding the derivative first.

For nothing in this universe is as adverse as a Calculus course.

LRAM, RRAM, MRAM, more like no ma’am.

Why do we need graphs?

Can’t I chart my own path?

What is f(1/2)?

Welcome to a new year for the Literary Arts Journal! We’re looking forward to collaborating on creative original projects and further being involved in the vibrant school community.

Having only had a few meetings thus far, we are still in the process of deciding exactly what to do this year. However, several ideas have been collected, and we hope to put them into effect. 

The possibility of a winter edition journal in addition to the traditional spring compilation has been heavily discussed, along with the regular distribution of zines (small, self-published collections of literary and artistic works), and several on-campus “poetry jams” involving not only students, but teachers and staff-members as well. We have also been working hard to produce a club t-shirt, discussing the possibility of various designs at each meeting.

This blog will be updated soon, and hopefully added to on a regular basis!
