Tribal college anthology is out

Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College has published the eighth edition of its literary and arts anthology, "The Thunderbird Review." The journal features writing and art submitted by students from Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College and residents of northeastern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin communities.

According to a FDLTCC press release, the journal received many high-quality submissions this year from both established and emerging writers and artists. The editorial staff spent hours poring over and discussing all the wonderful writing and art.

This year's edition is different from those of past years in that it was printed in color. Because of the great number of exceptional art submissions, the editors elected to have the anthology feature its pages in color. Among the artists featured in the journal are Charlie May, Anna Granholm, Kaitlyn Rain Hagenah, J.M.S. Swenson, and James Springett. Featured writers include Suzanne VanHoever, Jabari Simpson, Deborah Rasmussen, Jan Chronister, and Liz Minette. Student editors this year were Alberto Torres, Dakota Burton, Katherine Welman, and Janice Rarick; they worked with FDLTCC English instructor Darci Schummer to produce the publication.

In lieu of an in-person celebration of its latest edition, FDLTCC is celebrating the release virtually by featuring contributors reading from their work and publishing images of the selected artwork on the Facebook page for "The Thunderbird Review" at http://www.facebook.com/thethunderbirdreview.
