Poems by Molly Hartsell
The Savior
Screaming, fighting off
The dark enemy
Panic grips.
Like Bombs,
breaths pound in
The chest.
Like butterflies, the wings of the
Flutter double-time.
Light explodes from every
Comer of the mind’s universe.
Hands reach out, gently grasp.
Transporting to salvation.

Haiku
As we walked alone.
The birds danced above the lake.
A ballet of larks.
Trees bowed to the wind.
Nature was puffing her cheeks
To blow off the leaves.

Writers Forum on Track for Fall
McGuinn, Deal, Pargas to read tonight
by Steven Skinner
Just Recycle
You shouldn’t worry about my
Aching heart It always happens this
time
Every year.
It must be something in the Water.
Just step over my
Fragile emotions as you would
A bad luck crack on the sidewalk.
I will recover and take cover again.
As soon as my heart is ready,
And when, you’ll know.
All you will have to do with me
Is Just recycle.
After two well attended fall read
ings and an unusually strong summer
season, the St. Andrews Fortner
Writer’s Forum is on track for the fall
semester. An exciting line-up is coordi
nated and anticipation is running high
for a new series of writers and poets
scheduled to entertain the forum this
season.
Scheduled for this semester are
Rex McGuinn, Wallace Fowlie,Char-
leen Whisnant Swansea, John Casteen,
Joseph Bathantiand Jonathan Williams.
Fowlie, of Duke University,
will talk on the Doors. His speech
“Rimbaud and Jim Morrison; The
Hero is a Rebel,” might well spark
interest with those who love the rebels of
the ’60s.
October will bring Oktoberfest and
the forum will present German writing
for the occasion. Also in October,
Charleen Whisnant Swansea, director
of Mind Works, Inc., will entertain the
audience with the story behind her
success as well as her new novel, “False
Teeth,” from which she will read her
Ezra Pound chapter. St. Andrews direc
tor of Alumni Relations Rob Martin will
read from his new book in October as
well.
For November, St. Andrews will
welcome John Casteen, President of the
University of Connecticut. On Novem
ber 12, the forum will hold its annual
Sam Ragan Awards Night with a host of
special readers. The forum will also
present Jonathan Williams, Litt. D.,
and his colleagues originating from
Black Mountain College in November.
The forum will also offer
students and faculty an opjxjrtunity to
speak at Open Mike. Several will be
held, including one this evening, to al
low those in the audience to share their
works.
This evening’s writers include
soccer star Kris Deal and Lance crea
tive writer Jon Pargas. The first annual
Strictly Open Mike Night will be held
December 3, and will prove to be inter
esting at the least.
All students, faculty and the
general public are welcome to attend at
no charge. The Fortner Writer’s Forum
is held each Thursday evening at 8:00
pm in the Mecklenburg Dorm Lounge.
