Portrait of Meagan Graves

Mazie McNamara, Class of 2025, published a poem titled "Eating Oranges," in the Summer of 2024 (volume 65, no 4) issue of The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought, published by Pittsburg State University.

"ENGL 306, How to Be a Writer, empowered me to take my writing seriously and envision a creative future after my time at Gonzaga. The course required submitting our work to national publications, and as a result, my poem “Eating Oranges” was picked up by the Midwest Quarterly Review. Beyond providing invaluable knowledge and resources on the submission process, the confidence I gained during the semester was life-changing. The English department at Gonzaga shows so much support and care for its students, and ENGL 306 is just one of those offerings."
