At the poetry workshop, Lisa Lewis, Yolanda Zepeda, Robert Williams, and Scott Duke learn that one doesnt have to be crazy to write good poetry. L. xt V ,Xi ,Ji M H ,, -ii Wwikdunuu-f! Susan Armstrong, editor E 5 John Pettway, and Con- ,Aww nie Rogers finally agree on one thing -to include that poem only if they can put their names on it. T lt takes Connie Rogers, Scoot Duke, John Pettway, and other staff members two weeks to type all of the selected entries. Striving for quality ven though the IMPACT was not published, the staff gained valuable experience of editing, Critiquing, and typing the limited selections of poetry, essays, and short stories. After attending a literary magazine camp at Trinity University last summer, editor John Pettway, Jimmy Martinez, Connie Rogers, and Mrs. Neece returned with new ideas for a better magazine. These included a stronger campaign for good entries, a different selecting system, and a more efficient staff. With the addition of Susan Armstrong, Scott Duke, Eileen Stewart, and Yolanda Zepeda, the entire staff chose about fifty pieces out of 120 entries. The pieces are given to the staff without the author's name to be judged on a scale of 1-5 with five as the highest. While judging the selections, the staff would proofread and comment on them. After the votes are tallied, the entries with the highest scores are selected for print with Mrs. Neece's approval. The '83 IMPACT was not published due to lack of quality material. The selected material this past year will be published in next year's magazine. On December 8, forty-five aspiring poets from VHS, Stroman, and St. Joseph were invited for a creative writing workshop led by Naomi Nye, a free lance writer from San Antonio. She stressed that reading and listening can open up new ideas for writing. She said, The trend in poetry now is to get directly to the point. Vagueness, generalization, moralizing, triteness, and forced rhyming are frowned upon by editros today. Joe Barrera takes it kneeling down as Naomi Nye critiques his masterpiece' 2 122 ! impact A
