Read about Proph Dauda, our most recent assistant managing editor, and his experience as an English MA student at Auburn!

Congrats to Proph on his acceptance to the University of Notre Dame's MFA program!

"Prophet Dauda '24 was raised on stories. From the fireside in a small village in Malawi to the Loveliest Village on the Plains, the Auburn University creative writing graduate proves how one person’s story can inspire, entertain and take you across the world."

Check out our new online fiction feature "If This Reaches You" by Devon Halliday:

"But why leave? Here in the valley, the rains fall just often enough. In autumn, the trees blush gold and drop their leaves as if startled. Here is a slow, mindless, dreamy, selfish, pretty place to live; and to leave, to allow oneself to even entertain the question, would create a jagged friction between oneself and the village, the villagers, the goats, the as yet unmentioned chipmunks scurrying below the shrubbery—the kind of friction that wears each side down until something must erode, whether it’s a smoothing-out of circumstance or of self."
