Since 1994, City Works
has been
publishing the poetry, fiction, prose, and artwork of City College
Students along with the work of local, national, and international
writers and artists.
Over 50% of the work in the
journal is
by student writers, poets, and artists. These
pieces are chosen by the student editors of the Introduction to
Creative Writing course that is team-taught by the City College
Creative Writing faculty, which includes Chris Baron, Nancy Cary, Gwyn
Enright, Hector Martinez, Jim Miller, and Donna Watson.
The
students in this course evaluate every submission and
their rankings determine the Best Student Fiction Award, the Best
Student Poetry Award, the Best Student Creative Nonfiction Award and
the award for the Best Student Cover Design. The
faculty editors select the Featured Writer from a pool of noteworthy
local authors. Finally, the winner of the National Award is chosen by
the faculty editors from a pool of hundreds of submissions from around
the country.
Recent writers featured
in
the journal include Steve Kowit, Jimmy Jazz, Mary Williams, Sue
Luzzaro, and Donna Watson. Our intention is to create a journal that
reflects the identity and character of San Diego City College, provide
a venue for emerging local artists, broaden our reach nationally, and
encourage interaction between the college and the community at large.
City Works can be purchased at the San Diego City College Bookstore.
