• Casper College 2023 Literary Conference Zine
  This record contains a zine created Casper College student Rayna Januska as part of a service learning project. The contents of this Zine of Casper College in particular feature work inspired by the 2023 Literary Conference and Bruce Richards Lecture. Contributors include Devon King for the cover photo, Hanz Olson for the preface, a reflection on both events by Zoe von Gunten with images from the Tom Hough Papers used in her Bruce Richards Lecture service learning project, and photos of the Literary Conference in action taken by Dave Zoby, Conference Director. In our excitement for the 2024 Humanities Festival, we also wanted to include scanned copies of a couple of annotated pages from a book of Shakespeare's Sonnets owned by Margaret Demorest. Please find archived here the original zine design by Januska as well as a forthcoming scan of the zine once it is printed and folded. This service learning project was part of a partnership between Casper College and ServeWyoming to offer service-learning opportunities for students.
