"I can feel a fire ant’s brigade marching in combat boots digging into my skin. No one understands why I’m scratching. I’m trying to scratch the Black off. I pick-up my phone to call in a second line of defense from my contact list. Instead, Facebook is open and nausea twists my stomach like a wet rag and wrings my anxiety out after reading the comment sections of articles about America’s protests for justice."

~from "War Time: Black and Disabled," Rashaad Thomas, Issue 11

"I am 73 years old. That astonishes me, because in vast areas of my mental chronicles and cartographies, I am so much younger. I can still smell the boardwalk in Wildwood, New Jersey when I was 9— ocean, sweat, and the sharp tang of Coppertone suntan oil."

~from "Long Day’s Journey," Dorthy DiRienzi, Issue 11

Issue #11 features writers and photographers from both the Downtown Phx campus and the surrounding community. We're all about redefining what a university journal should look like.

Launching Friday April 28th @ Mod, 12:30pm.

We're committed to representing the voices of our community.

If you're an ASU student who's taken classes on the DPC, we're open for your submissions. Any style. Any genre.
