With all of these recent likes from Ryan (Ry Ry) and Lolaa (Ivory) and Dominique, are we in need of an ongoing writing group? What about a January coffee shop hang-out for some inspiration?

An excerpt from "An Interview with Principal Don Roy," by Ryan Dean, forthcoming in our Spring Issue. The new principal of Manual High School says, "But I'll also say this: my style is not to come into this like a madman and change and disrupt everything. I want to be gradual and consistent and hopefully inspire consistent, gradual and methodical improvement."

Select lines of a new poem by Marquita:
Drunkards flit around the grimy slabs of concrete,
those concrete slabs with the grab holds
from who-knows-when and barely any light
from the mini-city shines between those slabs,
letting those half-graceful drunkards go down
that alleyway blindly.

Lyrics from Rey's new song "Genocide" (just a few lines):
"We’ve all had that day we wish we could press reset.
Well I have it right in my heart, blank screen black.
A night I should have never come back."

A few lines about writing by Ryan Dean: "To be or not to be a word on the page put there by lead or ink. To let your mind wonder. Exploring the vast confines of the mind to seek and find what no one else will, capture it, bring it to earth."
