Volume 1991 Parnassus

Foreword

Parnassus 1991 owes its existence to its sponsors and contributors. Thanks must also be extended to Dr. Fry, Dr. Neuhouser, Professor Shelley Chapin, Dr. Bullock and Dr. Dickey for the time spent selecting this year’s writing contest winners. Parnassus is indebted to Professor Dinse for his wisdom and support as well as to Mrs. Rhonda Gretillat for the countless hours spent typing, designing and redesigning pages.

The contest received a great number of entries this year, and unfortunately we were unable to include everything we had originally hoped to publish. We were also unable to give special mention to all the pieces deserving acknowledgement.

Editor’s Choice was devised to give recognition to noteworthy pieces which were not prizewinners.

1991 is the twentieth century’s palindrome year. For Parnassus, 1991 was a year to look for examples in past work and forwards to the potential for a literary publication to represent creative expressions of Taylor students. The tension between the two positions formed the magazine you hold in your hands.
