The Quiet Launch
At thirty-seven, I never thought of myself as an author. I taught high school English by day and scribbled in journals by night—poems, fragments, essays, pieces of things that never really felt finished. Over the years, I’d filled shelves with notebooks and hard drives with half-baked files, most of which I never looked at again.

Commencement Speech
The job market is worse than ever and you've probably heard other existentialist threats about your prospects. From the arts students out of work, to the science students judged on where they went rather than on what they can do. You're entering a market where it is basically impossible to have any quality of life without a degree according to the politicians. But here's the thing: the money isn't always the greatest thing about the work.

Introducing: The Underland Review
We did a thing! A really cool thing. We set out to collect stories and art and voices and we did it. We have been building our website from scratch, and today we released our first issue of The Underland Review. Celia manages to put magic in everything that she does and the design for this zine is no exception (she may not like me saying that but I like to brag about my wife).
