The Catalyst is a literary magazine affiliated with The Arnhold Program and the COMMA English Specialization that was launched in 2013-14. The English department will provide the institutional infrastructure for the Catalyst Collective, a ground up student-initiated organization, from 2014-5. In the students’ own words: The Catalyst is “not only a place where student fiction and poetry meet in print,” but one in which there is “room for literary criticism, art and photography, Book Arts, Spoken Word, music/lyrics, Film & Media, expository profiles, as well as more traditional forms of creative writing.”
