The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. 
— Dylan Thomas

As a creative writing student, you'll have the opportunity to help produce Forum, a student-run literary journal that serves the 91·çÔÂÂ¥ community. Twice a year (Fall and Spring Semester), Forum collects, edits and publishes quality works of literature and the visual arts as produced by the 91·çÔÂÂ¥ family. 

Lit Night is a literary salon held at Ocean Ale House. 91·çÔÂÂ¥ writers have the opportunity to bring their writing and share their work with our community. 

Each semester we host a series of public events where creative writers share their craft. Past visiting writers include:

  • Alejandro Murguia
  • Brenda Hillman
  • DA Powell
  • Maceo Montoya
  • Mary Szybist
  • Peter Orner
