Greetings!

If you're like us, your schedule is clogged with all sorts of responsibilities, and the start of another academic semester only intensifies the need to exhaust every moment's potential.

Thankfully, scenes like the relaxing sunset above serve as reminders of life's vast beauty. It is in this vein that we'd like to share with you a few nuggets of beauty that we've discovered via the written word. For it is the job of the writer to encapsulate in a few phrases the relevance of a subject, and the writers we have profiled do so wonderfully.

Announcements
The Poetry Club and English Majors' Office would like to announce the upcoming English Majors' Open Mic. It will take place on Thursday, Oct 25th, at 1:30 - 3:30, in the State Lounge of the Brooklyn College Student Center. Every semester, many talented and brilliant writers of the Brooklyn College community meet to share their work at this venue. Be prepared to either join the ranks by reading a piece, or escape via another's unique perspective.
