The Department of English Studies is excited to announce the fourth issue of Angles, a student journal of new writing, published in March of 2019.
Over the course of four issues, the editorial team at Angles has published close to 100 pieces of student writing. During that time, a dedicated group of student editors have worked to gather material, consult with writers, and design and layout the journal for printing.
The fourth issue contains more than twenty pieces of writing that span a variety of writing genres, including personal essays, senior thesis excerpts, as well as fiction and poetry. This year, the 360 section features all the work of 1st-year students.
Angles endeavors to be a place where ideas can be explored openly, an outlet equal in spirit to the diverse range of interests and perspectives present among the students of the Department of English Studies. Its defining mission is to offer students an opportunity to experience the publishing process and showcase their work.
Copies are available in the campus Kinokuniya bookstore, from Angles editors and Department of English Studies faculty.
Angles is already is beginning work on the Fifth issue. For submission information please write to the editors at email hidden; JavaScript is required
