The final date for City College students to submit entries of fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction to the nationally-acclaimed campus literary journal, “Susurrus” is Sept 30 with artwork and photography to be called for sometime in November.
“Susurrus” is a 150-page book of student writing, art and photography and is published at the end of the spring semester, usually the first Saturday in May.
This year’s theme is enigma, according to English professor and adviser for “Susurrus”, Steve Cirrone.
Each year, students in the year-long Literary Magazine workshop, English 450, solicit creative work from City College students, edit and produce the magazine.
In addition, creative writers are invited to join the “Susurrus” staff each semester as part of the English 17 class.
At the end of the spring semester, the class organizes the debut ceremony for the new issue at an event in City College’s Little Theatre, which features music, readings and food.
According to the “Susurrus” website, to be eligible to submit work, writers and artists must be City College students at the time of submission or have been students the previous academic year.
All entries must be typed and legible. Prose manuscripts must be double-spaced. Students can either hand deliver entries to the Language and Literary division office at Rodda South, room 226 or send them in to the department via postal mail.
