I just stumbled across this amazing short video created out of a portion of the famous “This is Water” speech that David Foster Wallace gave to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. It is an intensely powerful speech, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. From the speech: There are
The editors of Long River Review — UConn’s student-run, award-winning literary journal — have a unique way of raising awareness for their journal. Each spring, the student editors embark on a Guerrilla Arts mission, ambushing UConn’s Storrs Campus with displays revolving around the literary arts. The events work in two ways: making people aware of
