Jessamyn West ('23) Dear Reader, It is our pleasure and honor to present to you the 2010 Edition of the Whittier College Literary Review. This annual publication of student writing and art work, was organized and edited by the Whittier College Upsilon Sigma/I essamyn West Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honors Society. It was our endeavor to bring together a diverse collection of work from a wide range of disciplines. As Poets, we take great pride in our Liberal Arts curriculum and embrace the broad range of creativity that springs from our community of students. In years past, we have showcased an impressive array of work ranging from poetry and short fiction to scholarly essays and photography. This year, we are pleased to include the exciting addition of music composition to this volume, along with an impressive collection of art, photography, and essays from disciplines as varied as Political Science and English, to History and Religious Studies. This eclectic volume represents the spirit of the principles of Whittier College and the imminent jessamyn West for her love of words and the courage that defined her character. Best known for her 1945 novel The Friendly Persuasion, West founded the English Appreciation Society at Whittier College at a time when national organizations were forbidden on the Quaker campus. Today, the society she founded is not only a recognized chapter of the International Sigma Tau Delta, and one of the largest Honors Societies on campus, but also one of only a select few with a historical tie to a renowned author. The Upsilon Sigma Chapter continues to keep jessamyn West's adventurous spirit alive by striving to encourage students to explore their creativity and make the Literary Review an outlet for creative expression and academic excellence. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our wonderful advisor, Professor Sean Moms for the unwavering support he so graciously volunteered during the editing process and throughout the year. His guidance and knowledge have made an impact on every student in the English Department and we would like to express our sincere gratitude for his kindness and commitment to excellence. We would also like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to all of our incredible Professors for their generosity in encouraging students to submit their work. Also, a special thank to Angela Freeland, our beloved English Department Secretary for her daily assistance, and to all who took part the editing process. We could not have done it without you! Doing this work is a labor of love for us and we hope you are inspired by the creativity and dedication of our students. Sincerely, Katy Simonian and Tina Rinaldi Co-Presidents and Editors of the 2010 Literary Review 5 Shannon jaime I Wonder \'Vhy the Muse Has Risen in Me And SO I listen And so I twiddle as you talk of your drunken, my chocolate-flavored thumbs, ofI-r)ad excursions, (lazed and waiting lor—what your lies doughnut-glazed and For life to begin?
