December Castalia

Closing out 2009 Castalia (we’ll be back January 5th, 2010, don't worry), second-year prose writer Jess Corozza brought us poetry from her younger days and gave reasons why hugging sucks; first-year poet Talia Shalev offered us a trip to the seashore with Medusa and collages built from Alan Dugan; second-year prose writer Paige Eve Chant explored mysteries of family, youthful devotion, and sand dollars; second-year poet Sarah Kate Moore took us from the moon to Buenos Aires and reflected on the endings of things; and special guest reader, UW professor Maya Sonenberg, walked gracefully the boundaries of poetry and prose with most satisfying results. Enjoy, see you in the New Year.
