Because we are combining the Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 issues of Eye Contact into a special "double issue" in celebration of the magazine's 20th anniversary, no magazine was published in Fall 2008. Yet many have missed their fix of the magazine. To tide you over -- and to inspire a new submission for (our fast-approaching Feb 6th deadline) we are offering an electronic copy of the galleys from the Spring 2008 "Revelation" issue, in Adobe .pdf format (warning: it is a large, 2 megabyte file). Note that because these are "galleys" the pages are arranged as they are laid out for the printer, not in sequential reading order.

Enjoy. Thanks go out to all contributors for sharing their "revealing" work.

The Fall term is nearly over but as this poster by Art Editor Marie Manski (located outside the SHU dining hall) reminds us, the magazine will rise again in Spring 2009! The "dead" line will be upon us before we know it....

So now would be a good time for you to work on your creative submissions (due Feb 6th)...and remember, we are especially looking for works that bridge or fuse the boundaries between art and language. Be creative -- anything from graphic fiction/comix or storyboards to creative uses of poetic space or typographic experiments are invited! Alternatively, stories could talk involve a classic painting, involve an artist's dilemma, or play with captions, etc. Collaborations between artists/writers are welcome. We do not see our theme as a limit, so if in doubt, send it in to eyecontact@setonhill.edu (please read the guidelines before submitting).
