ATTENTION!!! ATTENTION!!!
Palimpsest onLine! is the electronic World Wide Web version of The Palimpsest Review and acceptance in this on line version in no way means inclusion in any other version of the publication. For further information, contact the editor. Penn State students should be aware that their work will continue to be accepted for publication in both the online and print versions of the publication.
Since its founding Palimpsest has enjoyed the services of many excellent poets and short story writers serving on its panel of judges. But we are equally blessed with the very high quality of our faculty editors. It is only appropriate that we keep our readers informed about the success of these folks who add so much to the quality of the magazine.

accepted the position of Division Head for Liberal Arts in the new Berks
Lehigh Valley College of Penn State. His poetry has appeared in such
acclaimed literary journals as Poetry, Poet Lore, Cumberland
Poetry Review, and
The Fiddlehead. Mike's first book,
Scrimshaw:
Citizens of Bone, was published by Lightning Tree Press.

the Stones, under review.

Dinty Moore, an

Editors with credits like these place Palimpsest in a category unlike any other student literary magazine in the country.
