The first issue of This Is Online, a magazine by students of Web Content Writing, is live.
Stop by and visit the page. Read articles about SADS, Alzheimer's, downtown Bemidji, sci-fi, early death, and zombies. As the professor and students say, it's very upbeat stuff.

Former BSU Alum Ben Westlie will be publishing his first collection of poetry in January of 2012, titled Sometimes Out of Turn. Westlie graduated with a degree in Professional and Creative Writing in 2006. Since then, he has gone on to a MFA in Creative Writing. He had four poems published in early 2010 in Time You Let Me In: 25 Poets under 25. There's an autographed copy in the Hole-in-the-Wall on the third floor of Hagg-Sauer if you want to see Ben's work.
His first collection of poetry can be pre-ordered from Vermont College of Fine Art's website. We would like to congratulate Ben on his accomplishments and look forward to more excitement from him.
The British Literature Club is back again and kicks off Wednesday, September 21st at 2pm. The meeting will be held in Hagg-Sauer 249. There will be introductions and previews of Spring '12 British Literature courses.
Swing by the BEDAE page for more information. or contact Larry Swain. Hope to see you all there.
Hail, travelers from far and wide! We have the pleasure of continuing a past project, the Old English Reading Group. Join us every Thursday at 4 at the 209 Bar in downtown Bemidji for a taste of Old English and some good brew.
NB: Unfortunately, mead halls (bars) no longer sell beer in animal horns and also frown upon bringing swords into their establishment. It's a shame, we know, but please leave all swords at home. Viking helmets may or may not be allowed; enter with horns at own risk.
