Patrick Svensson Creativity unveiled UVSC's English department magazine Touchstones is available for purchase Michael Palmer Life Writer On Tuesday, April 5, the newest issue of Touchstones was unveiled at Center Stage during My Word! Touchstones, UVSC's literary journal for creative writing, is released once every spring and fall semester. The journal showcases poetry, art and other creative writing from UVSC students. My Word! featured live readings from Henry Miles, Tom Wetzel, Cory Swainston, and other writers published in the journal, as well as some interpretive dance by Doris Trujillo's dance troupe. Rob Carney, the faculty advisor for this semester's edition of Touchstones, also gave remarks. "It was fun," said Stephen Krommenhoek, a student in attendance who is published in the journal. "I thought the dance number was a little different. I liked it a lot." The journal was released in a cool white cover with sleek pagination. "I haven't read all of it yet, but aesthetically, this edition looks fabulous," said Heather Brady, who read at My Word! and is published in Touchstones. Touchstones is available in the English department (LA 114) for five dollars. In addition to the magazine, that price includes a CD featuring audio recording of some of the pieces in the journal, and a bookmark. Other information about Touchstones, including availability of past issues and future submission guidelines, is available in the English Department, or on the magazines website: http://research.uvsc. edu/touchstones. 2230 N.
