The magazine has been featuring a variation of different literary genres from poems, short stories, fiction, essays, art and photography since 1959, with all content entirely submitted by students.
“The magazine is an open forum for all students involved with Pierce to get their work published and out into the world,” said Maria Bates, instructor of English and faculty advisor of the magazine.
Any student can submit content for the magazine but to actually become a staff member and work on putting it together requires concurrent enrollment in English 32 and English 60. There are three different sections staff members can work under: publicity, editing and art. Becoming a staff member entails selecting the content for the annual issue, then editing, designing and having the magazine printed.
The magazine gets around 2,000 submissions throughout the his photographs in the Art Gallery on Thursday, Nov. 14. He is one of nine students with works featured in “Urban Sight,” a photo exhibit that focuses on Los Angeles architecture.
