“Susurrus,” City College’s literary journal, will be celebrate its release at a May 9 party and reading. First published 21 years ago, the annual publication is composed of fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, art and photography by current and former City College students.
“Susurrus” co-founder and Dean of the language and literature division at City College Albert Garcia said “[‘Susurrus’] gives the students some great experience, some great skills and at the end they’re holding a great journal.”
“Susurrus” gives City College students an outlet to publish their creative works.
“This is entirely student work,” said “Susurrus” adviser and English professor Marci Selva. “Students do all of the choosing of what goes in, the photographs. The only thing students don’t do is printing.”
Selections from the book will be read, and light refreshments will be provided at the May 9 release party. The party will take place at 6 p.m. in the Student Center on campus.
The free event will also include a tribute to Maui Porter, a staff member who recently died, and whose work is included in this year’s journal. This edition of “Susurrus” will be dedicated to her memory.
