The diverse range of forms is impressive: poetry, short story, one-act play, creative nonfiction, formal essay, and visual art. The journal also includes the winners of the Halloween Writing Contest and separate sections for prize winners, including a prize for academic writing/freshman comp. The writing is bold, entertaining, and well-crafted.
The visual art is a robust, diverse collection. The journal is attractively designed and laid out. Includes bios for authors. Judges write extended appreciations for contest winners. Overall, a top-shelf production.
