Editor's Note

During a mid-twentieth-century age in which “little magazines” thrived under the guidance of writers and artists, TU’s own Nimrod came into being in response to a summons for an “an organ of expression for the literary ability . . . in this area.”[1]  And during an age in which ‘zines, online research, and internet-based discussion groups play an integral, multifaceted part of today’s students’ education, The University of Tulsa Graduate Review’s call for interdisciplinary submissions continues as we proudly launch our third volume.

In this issue, we added a new feature: recognition for the best submission for fiction, scholarly essay, and poetry works.  Professor Bill Kupinse deserves a round of applause for judging the entries.  Lisa Wellinghoff, David Farley and Cristina Dascălu also are due thanks for their advice on editorial matters. Dean Janet Haggerty continues to show her support as advisor and Nancy Shelton as webmaster; these two are the backbone of TUGR.

In this volume, learn about the mysterious hand on Nell’s shoulder in Joann Allen’s Best Fiction Submission piece before you’re put on hold by Joshua Grasso’s tale.  You can also learn about fungal spore concentrations in the Tulsa area from Micah Burch, and you won’t dare to sneeze at Oris Hernandez’s discussion about paraffin depositions. 

TUGR-ly Yours,

Pauline Newton
