Moonshadow, Black Studies Dept. Creative Writers Group, University of Detroit
The University of Detroit produced a number of student publications outside of the student newspapers such as the Tamarack and Varsity News. Some of the more creative writings have been published in SIC and Dichotomy, which you can see on our Special Collections page, but there were others such as Moonshadow.
Moonshadow was open to contributions from any and all writers. Poetry, short stories and essays could be submitted to the University of Detroit, Black Studies Department. In this particular 1978 issue there are contributions from David Rambeau, Allen Adkins, and Marice Greenia Jr. and two students, Lisa Caldwell (12 years old)and Desiree Junior (11 years old), from Brooks Middle School.
Maurice Greenia Jr. is currently a member of the UDMercy Library staff. Besides being a poet, he is also an artist and we have digitized some of his works of art on our Special Collections page.
This is the only issue we have of this publication. There were four previous issues and I have no idea how many more issues were published. If anyone has the other issues I would love to hear from you.
