St Mary’s Launches First Creative Writing Anthology

St Mary’s University, Twickenham has launched a new Creative Writing Anthology to highlight work from its BA students.

Square One is a collection of writing from students across all three years of the BA Creative and Professional Writing and features both new original work and work that was submitted for assignments.

The anthology will be published yearly with the first edition featuring 22 pieces of writing such as poetry, short fiction and non-fiction including essays and reviews.

The entries cover a range of topics from politics and historical events to personal stories.

Programme Director for the Creative Writing BA at St Mary’s Jonathan Gibbs, said, “What I love about the work in this chapbook is that it covers everything you might want as a reader. There is writing that is vital, passionate and personal, politically and socially engaged, historically aware, poetic, funny and intelligent. I’m immensely proud of all the students.”

The anthology can be read on the St Mary’s website while more information about the BA course can be found online or by emailing jonathan.gibbs@stmarys.ac.uk.
