Introducing the Fall 2013 Issue!

If you haven’t gotten a chance to check out the amazing new issue that we launched a few months ago, now is your chance! The Nassau Literary Review has updated its website (not to mention its Facebook and Twitter pages) with the Fall 2014 Issue, whose beautiful cover (painted by Lauren Hoffman and adapted for the magazine’s design by Kelly Rafey) now graces both the top of this post and the sidebar of the site as a whole.

The Fall 2014 Issue features poetry, prose, and even a full screenplay for a short film by some of Princeton’s finest student writers, along with artwork and photography by student artists. Its centerpiece — entitled Like a Picture, Poetry: Art and Ekphrasis — exhibits various students’ works of ekphrasis, the classical Greek term for poetry which is about visual art or, more broadly, art whose subject is other art. It consists of three poems written on the occasion of a group visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and a series of etchings by Emily Chang depicting the classic story “A Letter to the Academy” by Franz Kafka.

And don’t forget that the Fall Issue is just the latest iteration of the Nassau Literary Review, which publishes once a semester. If you like what you’re reading, be sure to check out our digital archive of previous issues.

Finally, keep an ear out for the opportunity to send in your submissions for the Fall 2014 issue sometime during the spring semester.
