Creative Activity
Broadsides
Broadsides is a creative magazine that features one page per issue. It includes a piece of poetry or prose that fits on one page and is accompanied by a found piece of art that compliments the writing.
A new editor each semester (a senior in the fall, a junior in the spring) brings his/her own twist to the publication, with a new issue debuting nearly every week.
The Writers' Union regularly holds the following events
Coffee house!!!
The Writers' and Musicians' Unions occasionally co-sponsor a coffeehouse at the Lit House. Read poetry, sing things, play music, drink coffee and such.
The Graveyard Reading
Meet at the Lit House, and then we will trek to ye olde graveyard. Bring a flashlight and something Halloweeny or just generally creepy to read. 10 minute limit per person!!!
Lit Discussion: Women Writers
Bring a piece by an intriguing woman writer that you have something to say about, or if you can't find something, come ready to listen and talk.
Halloween Party!
This annual costumed delight is a Lit House tradition. BYOB and wine if you're over 21. Set up is at 6 p.m. (required for steering committee!) and open to all who want to be good souls and help out. Again open to all good, caring WU members.
