MUSE calls for literary magazine submissions

Students who want to have their voices heard can do so through Saint Mary’s University’s annual literary and arts magazine, Mosaic.

Mosaic is run through the English club on campus, MUSE (Mary’s University Students of English), and is comprised of student poetry, short fiction, essays, photography and art work.

Co-editor in chief Ashley Acosta said this year they want to focus mainly on literature but will still include photos and other artwork. “Mosaic gives you a chance to show not just students, but faculty too, what’s on your mind,” Acosta said. “It’s your interests and ideas fellow students may not have known before.”

Also new this year is Acosta’s and co-editor in chief Chad Divine’s hope to put on a workshop where students can peer review each other’s work. They are also planning to create a Facebook page where peers can post stories and interact. Any student can submit their work for publication.

“Alot of students think that you have to be an English major,” said Acosta. “(Mosaic) is a cool way to show people, ‘Hey, I have the ability to write.’”

Mosaic is published in the spring, and copies are distributed to the English department and throughout campus. The deadline for entries this year is Dec. 9. Work can be submitted to campus box 1446 or emailed to David Sokolowski, associate professor of English and Mosaic advisor, at dsokolow@smumn.edu or mosaic@smumn.edu.
