Imaginary Gardens

The student-run literary magazine of Arlington Catholic.  The magazine features student writing ranging from short stories to college essays and poems.  

The title of the magazine has its roots in Marianne Moore's Poetry, in which she describes the goal of a writer as the creation of "imaginary gardens with real toads in them."

The staff of the magazine will hold a meeting every Thursday after school in Mrs. Dever's room, 313.  All submissions should be sent following the instructions on the home page.  They will be subject to review by the students working with the magazine before they are approved and published.
