A collection of fiction, nonfiction, poetry and artwork, the latest issue of Reed Magazine includes pieces from San Jose State alumni, students and faculty members, and an exclusive interview with writer Carl Phillips.

In “Dedication to 45,” alumna Christine Pham learns about the value of life and the power of guilt while completing a community service project. Students Erica Zimmerman (“Unprotected Tanning”), Dave Kern (“Replacement”) and Katrina Swanson (“Quatrain”), along with Professor Samuel Maio (“The Plans, Obsessed”), contribute poetry. Animation/illustration student Aaron Lindley’s artwork “Toaster, Chill” appears in color.

Reed Magazine is published every spring and is one of the oldest student publications west of the Mississippi, based from the beginning at San Jose State. Purchase a copy of Reed Magazine.#
