Missing the Holiday Season? Five Must-Read Poems & Books to Take You Back

By Mara Cobb // As the fiction editor of Tributaries, and as an English major, there is nothing that I like better than settling down in the winter with a blanket, a cup of hot chocolate, and a good book. For me, Christmas books and poems, though, rise above the rest of my reading list each November and December. Here, I’ve compiled a list of five of my favorite Christmas stories and poems. There’s something for everyone’s literary taste here. So, grab that blanket and your favorite cocoa mug and settle in for a long winter’s read!

“Everything’s Waiting for You”: My Experience Writing for Johns Hopkins University

By Olivia Ryckman // In December of 2019, one of my awesome professors, Tanya Perkins, asked me and a few other students in my Advanced Fiction Writing class to submit an abstract to Johns Hopkins University’s Richard Macksey Undergraduate Student Research Symposium. (A mouthful, I know.) I remember sitting in shock that Tanya deemed my work worthy enough to submit to a symposium, at Johns Hopkins at that. If accepted, I would present my research and creative writing at the symposium in Baltimore. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so of course, I accepted it.
