On April 24, Ferrum College’s Chrysalis Literary and Arts Magazine held their annual reveal of the Spring magazine. Chrysalis is a combination of student, faculty and staff literary work including photographs, poetry, and prose writing.
Each semester, an invitation goes out to the College community to submit their work to the publication. Chrysalis student staff and editors select what submissions will be published, and a separate judging panel presents awards in a variety of categories. The cover art for this issue is a photograph submitted by Dr. Katherine Grimes.
Professor of English and advisor to the Chrysalis John Kitterman is happy with the reveal and the attendance at the event. “I thought it went well. We had a great turnout, and the students were very enthusiastic about all the submitters when they went on stage to talk about their work.” he said.
Editor-in-chief Scout Lynch was also happy with this edition of the Chrysalis. “We had over thirty contributors this semester. My favorite thing is just seeing everyone come together to submit their pieces. It’s a beautiful magazine, and we have a beautiful work prepared,” Lynch said.
