Poetry 'slams' second literary magazine competition

Issue date: 4/20/07 Section: Campus
Christine Zaino, editor of Inklings, commented on the exodus of attendees.
"It is great to have people come to our events," Zaino said. "I am glad when teachers require their students to attend. Even for one student to come and stay, (it) may inspire them to submit (a piece to Inklings) or to come to our future event."
With regards to the publication that Inklings prints seasonally, Zaino said that the Inklings issue for fall 2006 was smaller than previous issue. According to Zaino, the publication's size is based on the amount of prose, poetry and art submitted over the semester.
Events such as the Poetry Slam are intended to attract potential writers, Zaino said. Without the writers, she said, there would be no magazines.
According to Zaino, the newest issue has been sent to print, yet she is not sure if it will be released before the end of the school year.
Zaino said the Poetry Slam lived up to the hopes of those involved and she hopes that the organization's publication can be of service to the entire student body.
"I hope Inklings can be a magazine and organization for the whole student body," Zaino said.

Hi, I'm on Inklings, and just to clarify -- the second reader of the night and the second place winner was Tyler Howat, a junior English and history major. (Continued…)
