Currents Literary Magazine
Currents is a Drury student-produced literary magazine that cycles new issues around campus four times a year, more or less. Sometimes Currents has a theme, like the spring 2006 issue, Sex Lies & Aliens, and sometimes it doesn't. If you are human and have even a small splotch of creativity and are a Drury student, you should submit. The Currents staff continually accepts submissions of fiction, non-fiction, essay/review, interview, poetry, comics, art, and photography. New issues can be found in random buildings around campus and are always free to students, faculty, and staff.
Created six years ago by Drury student Eric Ferguson, Currents has transformed from a "punk" idea to a widespread and subversive forum for creativity. Eric envisioned irreverence and free-form, but never did he imagine that the publication would persist and grow to circulate over 200 copies an issue.
