Sheepshead Review Makes its Mark on the World with Fall Issue Launch, Dec. 9
Green Bay, Wis.—After many in-person classes were moved online, the Sheepshead Review staff was scattered across Wisconsin, leaving editor in chief, Morgan Johnson, the challenge of creating staff relationships virtually.
Despite the obstacles, the Sheepshead Review staff will launch its Fall 2020 issue at a virtual event on Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2020 at 1 p.m. via Zoom. All are welcome to attend. The Sheepshead Review is UW-Green Bay students’ journal of art and literature.
With much of the year rapidly changing, advisor and Prof. Rebecca Meacham said she found the 2020 fall semester to be the most challenging of the 18 years she’s advised the journal.
“Morgan and I worked this summer to ensure every student on staff had access and felt involved,” Meacham said. “They’ve worked really hard, and it shows. We’re thrilled to share this issue’s powerful art and words with the larger community on campus and worldwide.”
Sheepshead Review, Fall 2020
Along with sharing the issue, the launch event will introduce a new crowdsourced “Make Your Mark” feature for readers and contributors to see how vast the Sheepshead Review community is. Readers from places like Napa, California; Louisville, Kentucky; Pecs, Hungary; and Seoul, South Korea have already voiced their praise for the journal. See the interactive map.
Johnson gives some insight on what new and exciting things to expect of the journal itself. “The theme of community is sprinkled throughout everything we did this semester. In our call for subs we asked people to submit pieces exploring how 2020 has shaped human connections, networks, pods, neighborhoods, bedfellows, groups, and gatherings.”
Attend the virtual launch party Dec. 9 at 1 p.m. by RSVPing.
