Grub Street (literary magazine)
- Grub Street (literary magazine)
Grub Street is Towson University's arts and literary magazine. Every year, they feature the writings and artwork of Towson students and others in the community; it's free and available at many locations on campus.
The magazine is named after "Grub Street", a former street in London's impoverished Moorfields district. In the 1700s and 1800s, the street was famous for its concentration of mediocre, impoverished 'hack writers', aspiring poets, and low-end publishers and booksellers, who existed on the margins of the journalistic and literary scene. Grub Street's bohemian, impoverished literary scene was set amidst amongst the poor neighbourhood's low-rent flophouses, brothels, and coffeehouses.
Mission
According to their [http://wwwnew.towson.edu/grubstreet/statement.htm website] :
Cquote2|"Sometimes, in an effort to bring those qualities of life--fun, creativity, humor--that are the most subjective to a medium as ambiguous as art, we cross lines. We invade "safe" zones with visual and literary symbols, step outside of preconceived notions, and enter the gray area that is home to all expression. In that gray lies the chance of miscommunication.
"We, in our art, as in life, take risks. Doing so requires leaving your "safe" zones open, dispelling our preconceived notions, and immersing ourselves in gray. All eyes do not see the same picture, receive the same message, or perceive the same intent."
