About
In spring 2009, a group of Bennington students and a faculty member solicited undergraduate publications from schools nationwide. From some 200 invitations to participate, we received more than 50 publications. We spent the summer and fall reading, discussing, selecting, corresponding, and, in most cases, editing with the writers of the work.
The anthology will be published in three issues during spring 2010, all featuring poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and artwork from the participating journals. Prizes of $250 will be awarded in each of the three writing genres. For more details click here.
In preparation for creating the national anthology, the class created an online magazine featuring Bennington work during spring 2009. Practicum version of plain china.
