Volume 1999 Parnassus
From the Editors:
Ep-och: (e’pok) n. 1.a. A specific historical period, especially considered extraordinary. b. A notable event marking the beginning of such a period.
Thanks for supporting some of Taylor University’s most talented writers and artists with your purchase of Epoch: Parnassus 1999.
This year’s issue is different than any previous Parnassus. The written and visual aspects of the literary magazine are not only representative of a diverse body of student writers, but also the intentional community offered at Taylor.
As you thumb through this year’s issue, you will notice a retrospective of the past several years of Parnassus. Since this is the last issue of the twentieth century, we wanted to take a look back. We have come from a handful of saddle-stapled paperback issues to the professionally produced and designed book you hold in your hands.
You may be wondering who the featured photographer is on the cover of this year’s book. We guarantee you don’t know him. The photo was taken by John Pitzinger in 1931, two years after the stock market crash, in an Italian neighborhood of Chicago. The first girl on the left is Sarah’s grandmother, Nettie Freda, at age ten. The girls are curling their toes from the heat of the day after being sprayed with a hose by Pitzinger.
We offer our deepest appreciation to the office of Academic Affairs and the English office for continuing to support a portion of Taylor’s art community through the funding of Parnassus 1999.
Truly,
Full Issue
