“Ninth Letter is a collaborative class at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where students work during the semester to create an entire literary journal from copy received from the English department. The journal is professionally published and distributed. This issue’s theme was ‘Transition.’ The imagery and design elements were inspired by the changes that we go through that aren’t always pleasant. It also draws on feelings of loss and disintegration that happen over periods of our lives.” 240 pages, 7 × 10, black plus 1 PMS, perfect bound, awards section printed on Reich SHINE paper.
