The Myriad is a student-published creative arts journal that comes out once a year in the spring.

The journal will feature artwork, photography, short stories and poetry from students around campus, and the editors and adviser would like invite all to the reading of the Myriad on May 7 at 1 p.m. in the East Dining Room, according to an email from Pete Marcoux, adviser of The Myriad.

There are a total of “165 pieces of artwork, 86 poems and 20 short stories,” that were submitted to the Myriad this year, Torin Lee, 22, creative writing major, said.

“We print as many stories, poems and artwork as we can with our limited budget,” Marcoux said.

“Hopefully we won’t have any grammar mistakes,” he added.

“I think we have done a good job reading it because we read it all, but I feel like things are moving along at a good pace especially thanks to the way we are doing things because compared to last year and the years before it took a much longer time to do the ratings,” Randy James, 30, English major, said.

Every one of us reads every single piece and we each give our rating for it. The ratings are put together to give the average score of the piece and that’s the score to determine whether it goes in the final journal or not, Lee said.
