the album fall 2013 review by danielle boyd, susquehanna university, class of 2016 The Album is a print literary magazine from Hollins University. It features prose and poetry.

Canon, Tufts University
spring 2014 review by emily teitsworth, susquehanna university, class of 2017 Canon is the only publication at Tufts University dedicated entirely to the arts. They accept submissions of photography, poetry, paintings, prose, stories, pen drawings, art made with Microsoft Paint, prose poems, and anything that can be experienced via paper. When I first pick up the Spring 2014 issue of Canon, what strikes me is their cover. The editors chose a photo of a meager-looking dog wand

The Reflector, Shippensburg University
the reflector 2014 review by gabrielle lang, susquehanna university, class of 2015 The Reflector is a student-run magazine published by Shippensburg University. The journal publishes prose, poetry, and artwork. When you receive the 2014 issue of Shippensburg University’s The Reflector, you are first drawn to a red pearl necklace, the only splash of color in the black and white cover, held between the bare toes of a woman in a porcelain bathtub. The magazine’s namesake is hono
