We are also the home of the Favorite Poem Project and the distinguished literary journal, AGNI. Our relationship to that magazine not only provides opportunities for our students to take part in its operation (as interns, readers, gophers, and even informal editorial assistants), but is a possible avenue of publication, as well, since quite a few of our poets and fiction writers were first published there and went on to books of poetry and novels of their own. < 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 >
