Fellow Poets,

After a successful first online issue, the Swarthmore Literary Review will publish online and in print this coming spring. This magazine is edited by students at Swarthmore College, and it is the college’s first student publication to accept submissions from the greater writing community. We received an enormous amount of talented poems last year, and we’re excited to produce our inaugural print issue this spring!

We have no special requirements as to poetic form or genre, and translations are also welcome; however, all work must be previously unpublished. Please email no more than five poems, along with a short biography, to literaryreview@swarthmore.edu, by March 15th. Send your work as part of the body of your email and as an attachment. Submissions that we receive after the deadline will be considered for next spring’s issue. We do not accept simultaneous submissions.

For more information, check out the Swarthmore Literary Review website at www.swarthmore.edu/literaryreview. We look forward to reading your poetry!

Best,
Swarthmore Literary Review

The Swarthmore Literary Review seeks to create a student directed venue for the work of talented Swarthmore and at-large writers. In doing so, the editors hope to foster an exchange between Swarthmore College and the greater international writing community. Over time, we aspire to expand readership, humbly hoping to foster a love of the arts throughout literary circles on our own campus and abroad.

Small Craft Warnings, Swarthmore’s oldest literary and art magazine, is looking for one to two artists to feature in our spring 2009 issue! To apply, submit high resolution files of a series of 2 to 6 interrelated, two-dimensional original pieces to “submit.scw@gmail.com” by Friday, 3/20.

Global Health Forum, in partnership with SolesUnited and Crocs, Inc., is collecting Crocs and sending them to people living in Pémon, Venezuela in order to improve their health and quality of life.

So how do Crocs help improve people’s lives?
—Basic footwear improves hygiene and lowers rates of infections transmitted through barefeet, like tungiasis. These infections can greatly increase the risk of secondary infections, like tetanus, which can be lethal.

These infections are completely preventable—Please donate any available Crocs to be recycled and redistributed—collection begins after Spring Break!

Collection Bin Locations:

Shane Lounge
Sharples (top lobby)

(and as always, every little bit helps. GHF and the people of Pémon thank you!)

Students interested in the Buenos Aires Program for Fall 09 should contact Professor Diego Armus, darmus1@swarthmore.edu as soon as possible. There are still few available places. Swarthmore in Buenos Aires provides individually-crafted programs of study with total immersion in the academic, artistic, social and political life of Buenos Aires. It aims at serving students in social sciences, the humanities, and applied sciences interested in taking their Spanish to an advanced level of fluency, as well as those at beginner or intermediate levels. But along with its language improvement component students participating in the Swarthmore in Buenos Aires program will organize their work around three or more areas of interest (in any field or discipline) that may include directed reading on a chosen subject, a research project, community work, an internship in a lab or in a cultural institution. They will participate in individual weekly discussion meetings with their mentors – university professors, artists or researchers – as well as in open courses at several public and private universities. Academic oriented traveling (from Patagonia to Iguazu Falls to areas of the Argentine interior with a strong native American presence) could be part of the program’s offerings. Students may enroll for one semester or the full year. For a detailed description of the different ways in which you can plan your stay in Buenos Aires, please contact Professor Diego Armus, History Department and check the Program Web site: http://www.swarthmoreba.com.ar
