Artery flows on

I dreamed of returning home last night, A dreamscape of sight and sounds...
From the poem Sleep-Walker by Megan DeRoover, published in the 2009 Artery.

I'm not good at much, but I'll think you under the table. From the poem napkin poetry - the ismization of civilization by Edward Pugliese

The launch of issue 4 of Lakehead University's literary magazine The Artery was held at the university last Friday. A warm welcome included the reading of poetry both new and old, and the best hot chocolate in town. The magazine is full of interesting, odd, lovely, intriguing stuff, a typical lit mag. A small, neat package which fits well in the hand, it's cover drawing, a collage of art deco pens by Callen Banning, extends the literary theme. Congrats to Paula Theissen for the imaginative design and a big "gosh, this is good!" to The Artery collective headed by Tamar Ibrahim, Jessica Brinkman and Sean Divine.

Students at L.U., faculty and alumnae can submit their writing at any time but a formal call for submissions will issue forth in February. Watch this space.
