"Spring begins tomorrow.

I didn’t notice;

this year, winter raged in my soul..."

"The Unspoken Language of Speaking in Public" written by Kathryn Barry first appeared in the Journal in 2006. It was also featured in the 40th anniversary edition.

"The drumming

in my ears

beats the pulsating

beat.

My limbs

predictably

begin to perform

a tap dance.

Breathing, no longer

being effortless,

adds to my panic..."

"My Enemy" poem by Megan Shea also appeared in our 40th anniversary edition of the journal.

"I hear the thump, thump, thump.

I sense the closing in of walls

and my head fighting the darkness

that wants to embody me.

I fight the thump, thump, thump.

I fight the darkness looming.

The pain is pounding..."

This poem, "Untitled" by Mark Snyder first appeared in the Spring 1973 inaugural issue of the Curry Arts Journal. Mark Snyder was one of the journal’s founding editors.

"Time is running short.
Clocks tick away the faster-faster minutes
and my mind explodes in a volcanic eruption

of dates, things and places.
My brain, the acting file cabinet,
is locked and I can’t find the key.
Help me straighten out this mess,
by the way, what’s your name & address?"

"Conquer it", a personal essay written by Corey J. Theodore is making its first appearance in the Curry Arts Journal. Here is a piece of Corey's essay:

"When most people think of dangling from a rope about seventy feet above the ground, they think of the panic and fear that would cripple them virtually useless. I’m not like most people, and at seventy feet dangling from a rope, panic is the last thing that comes into my mind. I think of the peace, how quiet it is when I’m up so high, taking a deep breath and coughing up all the chalk that is floating around...'

John Dejesu's piece "The Halloween Party" first appeared in the arts journal in 1979 and will be appearing again in the 40th anniversary edition. Check out an excerpt of John's story:

"I could see the glow from under the sheet. The blasts through the itchy speaker suggested a slow, agonizing shell mission. I had fallen asleep before the movie came on. Pressing the end of the cover taut around my neck I felt secure that my body was nourished in its own warmth. The window by my head was open allowing walls of air to pass by my exposed face. Then, beneath the silence and the purity of the autumn night-sky, came this:..."

"There’s no day I love to be home more than Sundays. My mom’s homemade tomato gravy is the best there is. I wake up about 10:30 every Sunday to the zesty aroma of the gravy cooking on low as the steam eludes the kitchen, travels slowly up the stairs and into my bedroom..."
