Eckerd Review has for years highlighted the outstanding artistic accomplishments of Eckerd College, celebrating the talented writers and artists who present their best poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and visual artwork within its pages. Eckerd has a rich tradition of developing the many disciplines of art, and as a liberal arts institution, the College encourages the pursuit of craft by the many students and affiliates who make our school great. This year, it brings us utmost pleasure to publish a collection of works that represents the best of our Eckerd community and continues to illustrate the dazzling achievements of Eckerd College.

We are grateful for not only the many who submitted their work, but also all of those who devote their time and effort to help the magazine thrive, especially our readers.

We would like to thank President Donald Eastman, Dean of Faculty Betty Stewart, and Dean of Students James Annarelli, whose continued support has enabled our magazine to flourish; and also Lova Patterson and the Eckerd College Organization of Students, whose financial aid allows our efforts to be successful. We give a special thanks to the Director of the Eckerd College Writing Workshop, Sterling Watson, and also to Professor of Literature and Creative Writing Scott Ward, who have both encouraged the development of our many talented writers and recommended some of the work that appears in this anthology. We send much gratitude, as well, to Professor of Visual Arts Arthur Skinner, who has always given us crucial assistance in seeing and selecting some of the exceptional pieces of visual art that appear in our magazine. And finally, we extend our deepest appreciation to Helen Wallace, our dedicated Faculty Advisor, whose steadfast guidance has been invaluable in helping the Editorial Board produce this magazine. She and her husband, Peter Wallace, make our mission possible.

With great pleasure and pride, we present the 2011 edition of the Eckerd Review to be enjoyed for years to come. Happy reading!
