Official literary magazine

The best of Eckerd writing and art since 1966

Eckerd College saw its first literary magazine, Incite, published in 1966. Since that time, almost everything about that publication has changed several times over; from the title to the page size to the editorial tastes, from the funding and scope to the print run, our magazine has led many lives. But one thing has remained constant: students’ commitment to publishing the best literature and art from Eckerd College.

If you are curious about the arts at Eckerd College, our annual journal is likely the best place to start exploring our community of writers and artists. As students, we know that the work in our pages represents not just the individual talent at Eckerd but also the collaborative spirit of our artistic endeavors. Workshops and intense discussions late into the morning, the tight bond of artists sharing studio space, and the free critique of colleagues’ work: these are the ideals and characteristics of the Eckerd community.

Faculty, alumni, staff, ASPEC and OLLI colleagues all know this. That is why their work also appears in our pages. Once a developing craftsperson encounters the free exchange of ideas that we have grown to value above all else, he or she continues to support and participate in that exchange, often for his or her whole life. As a publication, Eckerd Review always has and always will rely on that intellectual generosity.

Sincerely, Eckerd Review Staff

Eckerd Review’s staff would like to acknowledge the people and institutions that have made our 60th-anniversary issue possible. We would first like to thank President Annarelli for his constant support and we wish him all the best in his retirement. We also thank Lova Patterson, Fred Sabota, and the Eckerd College Organization of Students for providing us with the funding that makes this publication and its involvement on campus possible. Additionally, we would like to thank Nicole Manuel for her ongoing and efficient support as our liaison between Eckerd Review and the Creative Arts Collegium. We most especially thank Christina Lutz, for generously sharing her expertise with the editorial team. We thank Arthur Skinner for his continuous support even after his retirement from teaching. And we would like to thank our new faculty advisor, Jessica Bergamino, for stepping into the role so strongly and so passionately: without her, our campus presence would not be so lively. Finally, of course, we extend a tremendous thanks to our editorial team for their dedication and aesthetic consideration. In 60 years of Eckerd College having an on-campus literary journal, we would additionally like to acknowledge everyone who came before, though there are too many to name.

Call for submissions

Eckerd Review will accept submissions from Eckerd College students, alumni, trustees, faculty, staff, and ASPEC and OLLI until February 5, 2027, for its 2027 edition.
