Literary Magazine Quadrangle Turns 60

April 16, 2012

The Canisius University literary and visual arts magazine, Quadrangle, will be unveiled on Wednesday, April 18 at 6 p.m. in the Grupp Fireside Lounge. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the publication. 

During the event, Quadrangle staff, and moderator Mick Cochrane, PhD, professor of English, will unveil the works of several contributors to the magazine. The evening will include readings from Sarah Whittington ’12, Hillary Hamp ’12, Davidlee Klimchuk ’12, Tyler Ianuzi ’12 and Kalani Kapahua ’13.

With the theme of “Time,” this issue, under the design direction of Sarah Jaworowicz ’12, explores the seemingly timeless quality of literary and visual arts, and features poems, short stories, creative nonfiction, artwork and photography on a variety of subjects.

“This 60th volume is a tribute to the current talents of the Canisius University of 2012, while paying homage to the talents of the past,” said Caitlin McAneney ’12, the editor-in-chief of Quadrangle. “Our ’historians’ collectively read all 59 past volumes to come up with a neat chronological essay highlighting the ups and downs, and never-back-down moments in Quadrangle’s history. Throughout the years, the magazine has stayed a centerpiece of Canisius literary and arts culture.”
