The Comparative Literature Department's own, undergraduate run, multi-lingual literary magazine, mOthertongue, is currently gearing up for its annual spring publication. For nine years now, mOthertongue has been successfully providing a forum for students with English as a second language to express themselves in their native voice. mOthertongue will be published in May and a reception and reading open to the public will accompany its release at a date to be announced next semester. Professors and TAs are encouraged to notify their students about this opportunity for publication. mOthertongue is accepting submissions from all undergraduate and graduate students from the five-college community. Poetry, short stories, prose and any other literary medium will be accepted along with some visual art. For more information mOthertongue can be contacted at mothertongue@email.com. Submissions will only be accepted in hardcopy and should be delivered to mOthertongue at mOthertongue, Department of Comparative Literature, 303 South College, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01002.
