A Thank You from the Southwestern Review Editors

We are greatly appreciative for everyone that contributed the The Southwestern Review 2012: Phoenix Edition. You all made this a special year for UL's Creative journal.

When we initially come up with the idea, our overall goal was to inspire those who have voices and want to use them to use them. We had workshops, the blog, KRVS, and wonderful support from the UL community. Do not let this be the end; like the phoenix, see this as new beginning.

Thank you all that have shared yourselves this year. May the spirit of the "phoenix" be with you all.

With much gratitude and respect,

The Southwestern Review 2012 Editors

The Southwestern Review: The Phoenix Edition (Journal)

The Southwestern Review is UL-Lafayette’s in-house literary journal edited by graduate and undergraduate students in Creative Writing. It features poetry, short fiction, non-fiction, and drama by faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates, and is illustrated with student art work. As 2012 approaches, we mark yet another round of apocalyptic predictions. And considering the religious, technological, environmental, and political scares of the past as well as the ones surely headed our way in the future, we must admit that this fascination with "The End" is no passing fad. So we'd like to know more about it. In fact, we'd really like to see your take on "The End" of things, particularly what happens after "The End." In other words, we're looking for creative pieces that look at a moment of irrevocable change and its consequences. Officially known as the Phoenx Edition, the 2012 issue of The Southwestern Review will be based around the theme of postapocalyptic regrowth or regeneration.
