Lang Leav’s Lullabies

Posted on October 28, 2014 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

In Lullabies by Lang Leav she begins by talking about her book saying, “I imagine it to be a bedside table kind of book–hopefully, one that you will pick up on some windy, restless night and it will sing you to sleep.” The book is split up into three chapters, “Duet,” “Interlude,” and “Finale.” Chapter … Continue reading →

Where, When, How: Making Time to Read or Write

Posted on October 26, 2014 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

If you are like many students, you have many obligations to meet; working, studying, shopping, and more. You may find it difficult to fit everything into a day, but you still have that short story you want to write, or that novel that you haven’t touched since you got it for Christmas. It’s easy to … Continue reading →

Fertilizer — Alexander Boyd

Posted on October 24, 2014 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

Niko had never been entirely sane. Something was always a little off. Informing teenage volunteers about how to get out of a speeding ticket while still being a smartass was inappropriate and incited a rule that no volunteer could talk to him. Unlocking the gate to the lion holding and framing another keeper for it … Continue reading →

Don’t Starve the Artists: How to Pay Bills with the Written Word While You’re Still in College

Posted on October 23, 2014 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

When I first told my mother I wanted to be a writer, she responded the way most rational parents do: “Ha! Good luck with that. Do you know how many writers actually get their stories published? Very few. You need something practical. Writing won’t pay the bills, and I don’t want you to be a … Continue reading →

Elise Ivey — Mike Sauve

Posted on October 21, 2014 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

A message from Elise Ivey assaulted my inbox, and then the peace in my life: “I know you ‘ve always had a crush on me. I’m moving to Toronto. We should hang out.” Cute enough in those high school football game nights, Elise had now evolved into something altogether tragic in magnitude: long legs and eyelashes, … Continue reading →

More Time for Me Time… — Leah Rea

Posted on October 19, 2014 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

Monday morning – I am once again at my desk and my fingers are tap dancing away over my keyboard as I look longingly at the hidden desk drawer which contains the ‘emergency’ supplies of snacks. Well, the name suggests aforementioned snacks are hardly ever touched, but frankly it feels as though every day has … Continue reading →

Six Blocks — Emm Borgerding

Posted on October 18, 2014 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

Dear Spencer, I had my fortune told the night before the wedding. A woman with a red, porcelain mask over her face ran her fingers over my palms and had me spit into a bowl of cracked eggs and coffee grounds. She pinched shards of egg-shell between her yellow fingernails and crunched on them happily … Continue reading →

Perdido — John Thornburg

1. “Did you know that rain originated in the big bang?” Sarah asks me after Spanish Class. I tell her that everything originated in the big bang. She’s quiet as we walk to the cafeteria^she eats her lunch, a plastic bag full of romaine lettuce and another containing fruit loops. Senorita Frank wore a blue … Continue reading →

Changes in Poetry: Traditional to Contemporary

Posted on October 16, 2014 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

Before becoming a reader for the Coe Review, I rarely read contemporary poetry. In literature classes, I love reading the classics, by John Donne, Robert Frost, and Shakespeare to name a few. The History of English Literature class I’m taking this semester is one of my favorites because as I read through each period, I’m … Continue reading →

What Inspires Us to Write?

Posted on October 14, 2014 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

I ask myself this question every time I start a creative writing class. It’s the beginning of the semester, and I have high hopes for what I’ll accomplish. Maybe I’m naive, but I foresee a wide variety of stories, short stories, long stories, big stories, small stories. Each writer has their own challenge; mine is … Continue reading →
